primarily for reasons previously given.  I _really_ want to play human players.
I don't mind games vs computers, but I _hate_ automatic rematches as no human
can possibly get in to play when that is going on.  I +noplay computers for the
following reasons: (1) abusive/obnoxious behavior (we have way too many 12 year
olds on ICC and this is a real problem).  (2) interrupting a GM that is playing
a long match (I want to play the GM, I don't want a computer to jump into the
middle and bump the GM).  (3) playing more than 4 games (there are exceptions
as I can think of several I don't 'count' games from, like ferret, hossa, diepx,
zarkovx, others...)
