But people don't have a POSTING RIGHT as was stated before (it sounded like
the author really thought he had the right to post anything anywhere).  I
won't (once again) repeat the arguments for posting these issues to a more
suiting group (comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer or comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware).
Also, I'm not ignoring the fact that this discussion broke out over PC
hardware specific questions, I'm simply saying that those postings had more
to do with PC hardware programming than with games theory.

*sigh*  This is not going anywhere. :(
