This is a silly remark. There is nothing elitist about sharing findings about
new programs, beta or final. I also think that it is useful for everyone to see
the games played by these new programs to get an idea about them. Or do you
think that "humble" silence would be more useful? No auto232 either, because 2
machines are a show off? Maybe better to use a modest 486?

False... Mchess and Rebel are being used and loved.
