Jonas,

This failure to support an organization or an alliance is an age-old problem.
This is why the US went to war with Iraq almost solo. In this world there are
the givers and the takers.

Computer chess is a small part of this world but the underlying actions of the
members of this site reveal the true nature of the larger world.

Fernando and I will contribute to CCC and CTF and remain amigos. We have seen
many less dedicated souls come and go.

Cheers,

Tim
