>>Funny, in the discussion here, people didn't say that.<<

I didnt actually say anything about what anybody said. Discussion, for me,
means a sharing of ideas.  Perhaps, for you, it means just repeating what
everybody else has said?

>> So apparently
you aren't reading, or you are beating a straw man. <<

I quite like Straw Men, and would never consider beating one.

>>And people wonder
why there are so many pointless arguments here?<<

People dont wonder that at all.  We all *know* why there are pointless
arguments here, they are virtually always to do with *you*, because you like
them.  Until your rather silly message, nobody *was* arguing here.  Rob and I
were having an interesting discussion.  Only when you decide to stick your oar
in do things get 'pointless' and 'argumentative'.

>>The folks who want to write their own programs merely want the OPTION
of getting the info in a format that can be crunched.<<

Yes, thats true.

>>  A good game
could have .pdf turns for everyone, and an additional data dump in
some grungy ASCII format for hardcore players.<<

yes, it *could*.  Equally, a good game *could* have its turns only available as
huge colour GIFs, or as complex machine code.  It wouldn't make the game any
less good, it would just change the audience who could appreciate how good it
was.

>>If you didn't see the world in black and white, you might notice that
there are colors.<<

If you actually read what people wrote you might notice there are ideas other
than your own.
