Look, this may not sit well with some I know, but it's only this silly old sosige's individual thoughts and feelings.
I played correspondence chess, in latter days on the internet.
I never used a chess book or chess program to cheat.
Call it Klingon honour or whatever.
And besides, that 'win' would not be 'my win' so wtaf?
I feel EXACTLY the same about using some kind of 'creation machine' in my music. I don't even use sample loops or midifile drum patterns. I write it all. It's 'my precious'.
