Netiquette is a lot of things and most people have a different level of tolerance when it comes to applying it, therefore it is of my beleif that tolerance in general should be applied when reading and posting. Graham is doing a great job sharing his results and i am pretty sure he puts in a larger effort than most people would think and running those tournaments are both time consuming and expensive, so failing to mention that his post is a 102 kb (i checked including the writing) which would be around 5-10 seconds to download on a 56 kb/s modem (maybe less i don't know), is such a small issue compared to the valuable info he shares with us. Proper netiquette might have been to ignore the less than pretty pgn format and bare with him not mentioning the pgn is included, instead of critiquing, without even mentioning that he is doing a great job. Also converting the pgn yourself should be pretty easy BTW. Jonas
