Is it reasonable to infer from your statement that Thorsten was correct in
stating that you do have version 289?

If you have a better version and are using an older version to conduct your
test, I can see why Thorsten would get angry, especially since you complained
that his tournament results differ from the Swedes' since his tournament has a
different operator. Then if he sees you using an older version when he has sent
you a newer and better version, I can understand his frustration. Since you know
how emotional his reaction normally would be to such a thing, I think you failed
to take his feelings into account, and have deliberately tried to "rile him up"
with this test. However, I will withhold judgement until I have your reply
outlining any reasons you have for conducting this test with the older version.

Careful, Moritz, with the global warming suggestion you are leaving yourself
open to remarks about "hot air". :-)

Strange. I did not read this into that remark.
