Actually if chess.come gains IPO like facebook etc,  the crash problem will not disturb the funny we play no matter how the servers and management burn money (from Shareholder) like those facebooks.

Candida.... Searched, grossed out, peril realized..... But I learned something ;)

This doesn't surprise us.

Tom Jones had a version of that, right?  Is that why all are grossed out?
