The only thing I can think of was that I emailed icc@chessclub.com to request
that in the next mailing of an ICC news letter, if CHCT could be included.

That was late yesterday, and when I woke up this morning, I had the email
waiting.

I immediately went on the server and spoke to Marty (LateKnight), and he was
very abrupt, demanding, and frankly an ass about it.

If he simply explained a few things, or let _me_ explain a few things, then
things may have been different.

>I might cancell my newly acquired ICC account.

I wouldn't do that. I like watching the big machine compete :)

If you go on servers like FICS and such, there would be no challenge. Even with
my dated hardware, my accounts are on the "best" lists.

While the games are nice, the competition seen on ICC is simply unequalled.
