I can understand that it can be frustrating, but i think accusing someone of a
scam and not apologizing when you found out you were wrong is a bit off the
charter so to speak. When reading your posts here (in general, besides this
thread) i get the impression that you are a good guy, intelligent and have a
passion for compchess, so this is nothing personal.

Best regards
