Yes, I am aware, and that is the reason I'm against wikipedia.  The page
has been used again and again to misrepresent my work, and to promote
things unrelated to ChessV.  Why is there a link to Brainking.com?!?  I
have deleted this link several times and someone (I think it's Andreas
Kaufmann) keeps putting it back.  This site has nothing to do with ChessV,
and as my program is COMPLETELY FREE, I have no interest in advertising for
commercial entities.  Also, see how many references, and how much
discussion there is about Gothic Chess, which is also commercial, and
CHESSV DOES NOT EVEN SUPPORT!

Wikipedia is simply a place for people to use my hard work, which I
generously give away for free, as an opportunity to promote their own
commercial interests!!!  That is just wrong.  Wikipedia is a really,
really bad idea, and it is a tool for people to abuse the work of others
for their own selfish purposes.

I could keep changing the page to remove these links, and undo these
edits, but, quite frankly, I have better things to do.  So, I will ignore
the wikipedia page like a bad dream.
