Since I wasn't around when Chris (as himself) was here, my reaction to Bella; I
was not as irritated by Bella (as some were) while she was here originally, she
became very annoying when it became evident how deceptive the person was.
First, why take the name of a fashion designer?  Because while I'm willing to
say, ok, a punk fashion designer could indeed have a great deal of knowlage
about computer Chess in general, but then when a fashion designer starts
spouting out large amounts of knowlage about the workings of a Chess program
that's way over my head, now I have a problem with it, because of the extent
that this person knows about the subject proves that the person is not "Bella"
but a Chess programmer pretending to be Bella.

It's not that people knowing more about Chess programing than I do is a problem
for me, if it was, then I wouldn't be able to tolerate this place at all, but
there's something incredibly annoying about the deceptive nature of the
Chris/Bella character now, so letting Chris back in as Chris(?) _now_ I'm
starting to have a problem with that, and I'm not talking about the
contributions that Chris could obviouslly make, I'm talking about the person
making the contributions.  So _that's_ a real bad attitude on my part, but am I
alone in that?  Probably not!
