I'm blackthorn on kgs... we should play some time. I'm about 5k, though I haven't played in a while.

People are polite on KGS because politeness and topicality are enforced by the moderators.

Many of the techinical people I know play go, or atleast know of it. I'm not sure if there is a direct correlation, but generally the stronger they are at Go, the better of a programmer and learner they are in general.

If anyone here is interested in learning or playing, I am about 2d on KGS (nickBlake) and would be willing to play or teach anyone.
