Obviously, having CTF linked to CCC is not about cost, so clear that from your mind. Even if Einstein himself were somehow posting on CTF, CTF is NOT discussing chess programs, which is after all, the point of the whole CCC forum. I'm sure all those programmers you mentioned could and probably do, join in internet discussions on any group(s) they desire. They are not in any way going to be limited to only discussing things on CTF. The question is whether CTF should be linked in any way to CCC. That appears to break down into two sub questions: 1) Is CTF relevant to CCC? and 2) Do you find CTF's content very offensive? To me, CTF is irrelevant to CCC, and yes, it's offensive. Dave
