Mr. Menke,

What is "civilized"??  Would you invite a hepatitis C, tubercular drug addict to
live in your house???  I don't think so.  We have quarantine procedures for such
cases.  Similarly, when a person is verbally obnoxious we separate ourselves
from that person.  It is our right which outweighs the rights of the individual.

Mr. Schwartz "owns" this site and if he wanted to he could ban the lot of us.
Verstehen Sie???  You must understand that the CCC is only a privilege and has
no connection with our democratic form of government in the USA or the world at
large. Mr. Schwartz is only being a nice guy and showing his hospitality.

By the way I highly recommend Dan Homans' Exchess 3.51 program.  It is totally
crushing Gnuchess 4.x on all levels.  Winboard engines give us a change of pace
and I find the ability to play one program against another on the same machine
to be most entertaining---Go Dan!!!

If you really want to contribute then buy more chess software from ICD/Yourmove
the host of CCC.
