I get quite a few emails daily refering to my "hatred of Rybka" or asking me to remove certain Rybka threads as they are "spamming" the board. Let me make something _very_ clear. I don't hate Rybka or Vas. Nor do I have an issue with Rybka posts on this forum. If people want to post about Rybka, they can post about Rybka as long as they are not commercial sales/advertising posts, or asking for pirated copies. If they stay within those two guidelines, then I have _zero_ problem with people posting about Rybka. If you attended the CCT in channel 64 this last weekend on the ICC, then you would have seen some incredible programming talk coming from Vincent, Vas, Anthony and others. It was great. You could have asked _anything_ and they would have probably answered you. They were that outgoing. Peter
