Posting non-computer-chess-related material to a computer
chess newsgroup because that's where the post you are

because that's where your asshole happens to be.

Interesting "reasoning"; do your pants come with an
automated feature which directs your excrement to the
same (multiple) areas as the guy who wore them before
you did? I usually just buy the cheap ones -- you know,
the features include a brass or nylon zipper, double
stitching, and in some cases, bartacking at stress
points.

Another point which ought to be mentioned is that
whenever one switches to a new browser or even an
updated version, the interface can change, the features
can change -- without warning. I have several times
noted that after some such update I am utterly unable
to use the semicolon, on account of the software simply
hijacking that character for its own use as a function
key. Eventually, the problem goes away -- again, by
itself and not at my behest.

Blaming computer users for all the peculiarities
incorporated by sadistic software engineers is like
blaming the chessmen for chessplayers' incompetence
in the endgame.
