We would very much like to have Crafty here, but I don't think Crafty is more
important than Shredder, Junior, Fritz, Diep, Deep Sjeng, ParSOS, IsiChess, etc,
to deserve a special treatment.

Bob repeats the "I don't know, you don't know" thing over and over. But I have
all along said clearly how the tournament will be held here, and just repeated
it. If he comes here, or sends someone on his behalf to operate Crafty, then
Crafty will participate. Otherwise it won't.

Thank you for your compliments. If instead of attacking us so much you have
tried to organize next year's WCCC somewhere in the US, we might have all been
enlightened by your brains and wisdom...
