Is that a threat? 

But in fact, Blizzard sanctions programmable keyboards. And please 
don't counter that unless you do some research first. 

The only reason I would play on a ladder is if that is the only 
multiplayer, or if it is the most popular multiplayer. I could not 
care less about ratings. I had more than enough rating fun when I 
played chess. Nowadays I play for fun. 

Given Starcraft's lousy interface, I probably won't be able to 
script well enough to bother the mouse slingers. Time will tell.
