Go up one level in this thread


This is nothing more than a flagrant attempt in polling users about possible
commercial payment possibilities for your program, and as such I am removing the
thread.

As per the charter:

Once a member gains access to the message board, he may read all messages and
post new or response messages with the proviso that these new or response
messages:

   1. Are, within reason, on the topic of computer chess
   2. Are not abusive in nature
   3. Do not contain personal and/or libelous attacks on others
   4. Are not flagrant commercial exhortations
   5. Are not of questionable legal status.

What about rule #4 do you not understand?

Peter

Hello Albert,

I qouted the relevant section up top.

I assume that your post is referring to other matters.

So if I understand you, were I to insult someone somewhere else, even when I did
not specifically insult them *here* then that would be the index against which
my current action would be judged?

Is that a reasonable approach outside of a court of law?

Heaven forbid that all my posts should be used asgainst me....

Stuart mentioned that Vas had been treated badly in Peter's post quoted above.

I cannot see it.  The reference to other post confuses the issue in my opinion.

Later.
