Robin,
  Thanks for a fascinating post with regard to positions in the 11th USCCC where
you believe your opponents relied on a computer for a faulty evaluation.
   This would be a very interesting and relevant test case for us,if you would
care to share several of these positions with us (naturally without names).
We are dealing here with very strong correspondence play, so can see what of
errors of positional judgement computers make.
  (I was unaware that computer use is legal in the USCCC, but it is logical,
since the USCCC is an ICCF sponsored event, and computers are legal under ICCF).
  In view of the fact that computer use was legal in these games, then your
opponents, assuming they were consulting with computers, were acting ethically
and legally (though perhaps unwisely), and there is no reason not to disclose
these positions.
