You simply do not buy the strongest programs. Most of the posts about rybka are from buyers of rybka and not from the author and I do not think that vasik sold more copies because of his posts here. My opinion is that he could sell exactly the same without posting here a single post about rybka. If you think that vasik's posts are against the charter then the moderators can warn him and ban him. I do not see it as a reason not to buy his program and I think that if this was the intention of the charter then the charter is unclear and it should include examples what is considered as advertising. I also think that a rule of not advertising the strongest program is simply a rule that it is impossible to force people to obey it. People will always want to talk about it and there is nothing that you can do about it. Uri
