I don't see anything wrong with that list.  Bob's been on there for four years,
at that rate he's adding one guy every little less than two months, which is
pretty tolerant, I think.

If you have an agenda please make it explicit.  Do you have an account on ICC?
If so, what's its handle?  Maybe I have you noplay'd too, my noplay list has
more entries than Bob's.

Bob's always played against my program, he's always encouraged me to play more,
and he's never even hinted that he wishes I wouldn't play mine against his.

I don't let mine play against human cheaters either.  Some of those guys are
perverse, and it's really unpleasant to deal with, as well as being a big waste
of time.

Some of the computers are pretty annoying, too, for instance Mofongo only plays
zero-increment fast games against humans (+noplay computer), and only plays
unrated when his blitz rating gets huge, but he asked me if I wouldn't mind
letting him do some 2 0 against my program.  His bullet rating is 2684 and mine
is 2960, so basically what this amounts to is that he's simply asking for free
points.  I don't care about the points, but I don't need to deal with weird
situations like that, either, where some guy is primping himself in one rating
category while trying to cherry pick in another.

I could go on at length about that guy.
