I'd probably return it. If it was someone's first post I'd definitely
return it, and if it was someone who regularly posted to rec.ponds I'd
still return it, and wonder what possessed them to try to post about
chess in a pond group. Now if it was a 99 year old book about ponds, I'd
probably agree with you and pass it.

Mea culpa. Mea culpa. I should have been clearer that this was from a chess
NG and the general principal for ponders might be the same, which I see you
understand, while poking me with rounded sticks. ;-)
