I responded to the first post, giving some analysis... and went over to ICC to check on Crafty. I then looked at the game some more and decided to add another note as the book being used was also not very good... when I looked at the thread, one 'sub-thread' was the original post, with mine indented under it... and the rest indented normally below that. When I clicked on _my_ followup, there was magically _another_ post that followed mine but it didn't show up on the original long thread listing. it is fishy, but not a serious problem...
