>You know, I have to admit I find your response somewhat dismaying >because it shows a lack of understanding of what everyone is complaining. True, >in this response you do apologize, a definite improvement over your >previous "poor baby" reply. The problem is perhaps your vision of how >the event should be organized. The problem isn't that the Paris Bourse needs >to be protected from bomb attacks; the problem is in organizing such an >event there in the first place. Ok, the place of the tournament may not be a fantastic one. Nothing is perfect. I think the WMCCC97 is not so bad, I am not the only one. >Regarding the number of people in the tournament, I think that perhaps >you should have seen how the Dutch organize AEGON. As for Aubervilliers, >I know exactly what it is like as I have not only played there as a >player, >but have been an operator there once: Several years ago, I was the >operator of the then experimental Mach 68040, a funny looking machine in >a transparent box with two large and very loud fans. Yes, there are a >lot of questions. Yes, it's tiresome, but then again the purpose is to divulge >and inform. Nice goal. I do not defend "closed" tournaments. I just say that too many persons in a tournament hall would be a problem. I am not the only one to say that. >You know, you have to stop trying to defend this indefensible position >because it shows that you don't seem to recognize the problem, and >rather don't understand what people are complaining about. I still can't >believe you actually tried to justify the use of pieces of paper. What's next? >Bird calls? Smoke signals? > Albert Silver I still read old-fashion made newspapers, sorry. Live report of the event on world-wide-web pages is better, sure. Christophe Jolly
