This is a _very_ sad trend, to "accuse" someone for working for a company when
you don't agree with their views...

I personally dislike the CB style pgn output, i would even say i think it is
downright ugly and as yourself i prefer the clean pgn style, my post was
directed at the "...and please refrain from posting that ugly CB new PGN style."
where the word "refrain" dictates as opposed to suggests, atleast that is my
understanding of the word.

I was only pointing out that he could post _the_ ugliest formatted .pgn, .txt
etc and he has the rights to do that if he wants.
