I'm not sure how many members CCC has, but I'd be surprised if the number of
non-dormant accounts is in that ballpark.  Maybe there are ~300 posters, ~2000
readers? (wild guesses).

Exactly what _would_ one do with all that chess software?  I haven't figured out
why one would want to have 10 different programs, but it seems to be a frequent
enough occurence, so I must be missing something.
