Bob, please try to control your tendency to bash me and my language as a
foreigner. This is regarded as most impolite.

Second remark: would you please be so kind to re-read what I wrote? I
_specifically_ said "You as a moderator you speculate". And then I began to talk
about others. Does it mean - in American English - that automatically the two
activities were connected? With speculating I meant exactly your speculation
about my possible co-authorship or assistance of some sort. Is it a good
role-model for a moderator to toss such wild speculations against other people?
And your only evidence is the observation that some "ROlf sort of"
did something on rgcc?

Third remark: can't you see that this is by far not computerchess?


>Try again...

Forth remark: please do not seduce me to do something forbidden. ;)

Fifth remark: How could I know something about Ed and his business? You are
completely misleaden, also, when I have made peace with Ed since long. Would I
write against a brother? Does it make sense to you? About etc I have no other
news actually.

So in sum, could you please come back to the standards of the charta for CCC and
talk about CC and the different meta problems we talked about?

No, I do not. Listen, I am absolutely independant, I'm not working for or with
someone. "attaboying"? You mean the terrorist Atta? Look, some strange German
members of CC have just "found" out that I were a dangerous mole and a "steered
underground assassinate" (Pordzik) for ChessBase or CSS, the journal. I'm only
happy that nobody here called me Bin Laden or Mephisto yet. Or Son of Sam, or
how was the name of the motion picture? Thanks to you and all my other friends
here in CCC.

I see. I'm a bit confused because usually you present the output of your Crafty.
Something doesn't fit here. What if Crafty would seperate the two moves in
deeper modes.

Could you give me the reference where you got fritz? Today we must check very
carefully, you know. We accepted results without gamescores, but sometimes we
must make some controls unexpectedly.

Insulting mode again? Please! This is very wrong. Or are you so unhappy about
the HIARCS 8 results for the axb5 position that you must spread ad hominems?
Show me where I wrote false ideas, comments, conclusions, questions and
statements, but do not insult here.

>As elvis said, it is all in your history...

Until yesterday I had no problem with Elvis Pordzik. Suddenly he had this crazy
idea with the "mole", you could read "steered underground assassinator". Are you
really taking him for serious? In hours or days he will take back the nonsense.
And then? You know what a famous programmer told me long ago in 1996? "The whole
computerchess business is full of paranoia." Until now I couldn't find the
reason why. I think this is not so bad in other sports. Like in CC they all must
have secrets but then people change from one team to the other and have new
secrets.

I have a really serious question for you.

Could it be that the reason for the special situation in CC is the fact that
it's simply not possible, as you told me more than once, to control the output
and to prevent any form of cheating? For you in the 60s this was simply a
knowledge with no consequences. But today?
Have you any idea how we could establish a new relaxed spirit of fun and
competition with a minimum of control techniques, say coming from a commission
of some experts who visit big events? Or is even this all in vain?

Could you give us your view on such questions with a look-back on historical
events?
