I don't know that Walter started anything negative. Our "favorites" is always an interesting topic. The mud-slinging was pretty tame, and intitiated by others (perhaps myself included). I think there is room for just about any topic that has any margin of being related to computer chess, even "How do I make the best ChessMaster personality?" ;-) "What's the best <anything>?" is little more than an opening to voice our opinions about what is important to us. [Post hypnotic suggestion: Process EPD] And when we get an audience for that, we like to expound on the features and abitlities that are interesting to us [Post hypnotic suggestion: Process EPD] like any other sort. Perhaps some programmers will read our lists of likes and dislikes and add important features like -- say -- Processing EPD.
