I'm taking a masters course and will have to write a thesis starting in October 2002 on a topic yet unknown to me. If it was to be in Computer Chess, with only 1 year to write it plus studying for all my other modules I'm pretty sure I couldn't come up with anything to impress the readers here. Keep things in context, many people here have Computer Chess as their hobby as well as having a DEEP interest in it. Only someone ignorant would refer to another person's work as junk. Theres nothing wrong with being objective and perhaps suggesting ideas for improvment, but referring to someone's hard work as "junk" or implying that someone hasn't worked very hard on it is simply not acceptable. People have different levels of ability, even still I dont see what is so wrong with his thesis... If my topic is Mobile Telecommunications, do you think I could write something to impress people that have studied this area indepth for many many years? I don't think so, please be considerate when discussing someone elses hard work. Regards Anson
