But I am not watching 24 hours per day. And am often logged on but not watching, so that I can simply log channel 64 to see if anything interesting was discussed. If I see you playing in a kr vs kr position, I will offer a draw, although against most automatic programs I don't, because I know they (like Varguz) won't accept and it is just wasted effort. Why ask this question of me when _your_ program/interface doesn't offer/ accept draws? IE I can't _force_ you to take a draw... And I can't respond to that which you won't offer...
