Plural is not adequate here. I can not collaborate with ONE person.
Other persons are currently contributing to Scid's development.

I still repeat my endless question : how many lines of *code* are
present in Scid and "borrowed" from chessdb ? I'd like to get *any*
*rough* approximation, just for my information, and I will acknowledge
any number "as is". Why don't I get any answer to this simple question ?
Maybe I stole a car one day unaware of it, but if the complainant cannot
even tell me its color, I find his request suspicious.

You get so many people in this newsgroup that have nothing clever to
say, that this group is (nearly) dead, and this is why everybody serious
about chess and computers flew away to
http://www.talkchess.com/forum/index.php
or to other forums (Hiarcs,
Rybka forums).
It is sad to see that on rec.games.chess.computer there are no engine
version announcement for example (and on Talkchess, maybe there are too
many ;-) ). The problem is that some people (beginners) really
interested in chess and computers may first start here, unaware of other
forums, this is why it seems I am the only person left announcing here
(!?).
Concerning "agressive" posts, I suppose there are some given that you
refer to them, but I have some black lists on my news reader that filter
quite well ;-)
