To All CCC Memebers: We toasted Swartz on January 7th and Caissa signed on the very next day. Even though the IPs are different, the HTTP_USER_AGENT for both of them is identical: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; YComp 5.0.2.6) For the entire year there were only 6 that were identical to that of the 1000's of signups. The email address that Caissa uses directs one to a site that is sponsored by Chess Central and only Chess Central sells product there. Gary Swartz posted 9 times before he was toasted: http://chessprogramming.org/cccsearch/ccc.php?art_id=315282 http://chessprogramming.org/cccsearch/ccc.php?art_id=333630 http://chessprogramming.org/cccsearch/ccc.php?art_id=333733 http://chessprogramming.org/cccsearch/ccc.php?art_id=333777 http://chessprogramming.org/cccsearch/ccc.php?art_id=335464 http://chessprogramming.org/cccsearch/ccc.php?art_id=340382 http://chessprogramming.org/cccsearch/ccc.php?art_id=340455 http://chessprogramming.org/cccsearch/ccc.php?art_id=340497 http://chessprogramming.org/cccsearch/ccc.php?art_id=340597 All but one was a flagrant advertisement for either Chess Central or Chess Exchange. Swartz had as his username and city: User name: ChessMagic City: San Antonio TX Caissa has as his username and city: User name: ChessBrain City: Texas Please boycott Chess Central and Chess Exchange for violating and totally disrespecting our Charter. Please report any repeated posts promoting Chess Central or Chess Exchange. Anyone posting a post that promotes Chess Central or Chess Exchange will permanently banned without any warning. This organization is willfully violating our charter for their own financial gain. Thank You. Michael Byrne
