Most users aren't dismayed, because if you are a
provisional player you are worthless and weak and your
rating is meaningless.  

I have changed my opinion on the ratings somewhat.  I
used to be in the "ratings add a lot of fun to the
games" camp.  Now I'm in the "just program more games"
camp.

It might have something to do with Richard working on
two of my favorites.  Go Richard.  You are wicked
pissah.
