I have respect for your emotions if they don't influence your judgement too
much.

BTW perhaps Kasparov is still hypostating a relationship that he has with the DB
team. I think it could well be possible that he still expects them to give him
something in personal...  Just a guess.

All we have are speculations. But I could observe a clear tendency that he tried
to find distance from the whole field that caused him so much grief. I am still
convinced that he doesn't behave in the clear conscience that he was completely
wrong with his suppositions. Hint for you. Please don't continue to treat him
like an alien, sorry, like a _dumb_ alien of course. _Our_ ego wasn't touched
anyhow. Know what I'm talking about?

Probably, but I believe in the influence of long-term repetitions. Uh, and in
the importance of 'not to lose your face'... Something the DB team wasn't too
much concerned about. (If there wasn't that spooky press conference you
claimed.)
