Thorsten, I wish that you would not answer posts that make you angry until you
have had time to cool down and respond normally. I realize that Mark has been
involved in a dispute with you recently over Fritz 5, but his comment just
indicated that he did not see it on the server. In December when the posts about
the new version were posted, I did not see them, or perhaps it was referred to
as the Paris version which is what version 284 was called, and I thought that I
had it. Therefore, you have also called me stupid for not downloading it when it
was mentioned in rgcc. I think you would be doing a far greater service to the
program you like so much, if you would give reasoned replies to those that ask
non-inflammatory questions. Even if they ask deliberately provocative questions,
a quiet answer would have a better effect. If you prefer, give no answer. But,
you only hurt yourself with these type of responses.

Please realize that I am not trying to attack you with this, just to help you
make your point about CSTal being a good program in a more effective manner,
since I also like this program. I hope that the statement that Chris will not be
releasing the program due to criticism is just a result of your frustration, and
is not a final decision.
