I'm not concerned about a guy, the issue is a hypothetical one.  To wit: are the
games I posted played by a computer or not?  (Here lies Lester Moore, shot by a
.44, no less, no more.)

One cannot be accused of cheating if one has not played any games.  I posted the
games.  BillClinton doesn't exist.  Look at the posted games, if you are
interested.

See above.

Speedtrap has never responded to any of my messages, and there have been many.
Never once responded.  They don't care a whit.  And why should they?

I don't care about BillClinton.  I don't care about cheating on ICC, which
happens every day.  I can protect myself, thanks.  All I wanted to know was
whether anyone could find a tactical or positional mistake in any of the games I
posted.  No one did.  That's all I want to know.
