Here's the point.  First, the complaints did _not_ come from commercial
programmers.  They came from people that are interested in computer chess.
Posting here about quirks encountered when ordering Rybka from a free email
account is simply going about something the wrong way.  That is a Rybka sales
issue, not a CCC issue.  It's an issue that should be reported via the Rybka web
page, not here.

That was why it was removed.  This is not a "general marketing help forum"...

Questions about specific engines and how to do something are within bounds, as
they always have been, but let's leave the explicitly commercial-type questions
out of CCC...
