> >Perhaps I'm nitpicking here i think its nitpicking Al just like i think offering a prog for 5 days as freeware is really only a marketing ploy ,I take it therefore that you equally object to Fruit 2.2, Ktulu, and >Ruffian, and a number of other programs/engines being announced? my objection is there seems to be a new marekting ploy not seen before.by before i mean perhaps a year ago offer a program for a very short period of time as freeware..get everyone here in an uproar over it and then it is released as commercial nit just Rybka..all programs using this new technique and ICD is not even considered where is the harm to at least get ICD involved or at least given some thought tell me Al..you were here when the CCC was created why should ICD even sponser this site in the first place? out of the goodness of Steve S's heart? to watch idly by as now 3- 4 engines are sold chiefly(as least initially) to members here ?? seems like a free ride here to mealso seems to me..that many people enjoy this site because of the new progs like Rybka..and Steve could pull the plug and then what? lets support the company that pays the rent here..thats all i am saying really Steve
