*** Use "sshout" ONLY for serious chess-related shouts!

- You can see a list of people who have sshout=1 with "who S".

"sshout" is to be used ONLY for chess-related shouts. All other shouts

Examples of acceptable "sshouts" are:

- "I am going to the World Open. Is anyone else going?"
- "What about the Taimanov variation of the Ruy?"
- "Kasparov just beat Karpov in the Linares tounament!"
