Sure you do only read what suits you. I think that I have posted some of the most enthusiastic posts regarding Zappa's achievements all along the week. I did it largely before it became so consensual to be as over-bidding as possible. see for example this one (443485): "Subject: Re: Shredder-Zappa : two masterpieces in a row" "In Reply to: Shredder-Zappa posted by A. Cozzie on August 20, 2005 at 09:15:15: "I thought Shredder-Fruit was the best game for long and then you come with two true masterpieces in a row. Congratulations to Erdogan and yourself ! Your price wil be more than fully deserved Marc Lacrosse" I still maintain and confirm : - that zappa is not opensource and never was whereas fruit's code is and always was (and has yet been copied largely) - that there are more than persistant rumours announcing zappa to become commercial very soon. - that I find this normal, fully deserved, and that I wish Anthony full success if he goes commercial I also maintain that praising Zappa ALONE as the best evidence of a kind of revolution regarding the present achievements of non-commercial programs without mentioning fruit is completely biased. THIS is in no way contradictory to the fact that I consider that the level of chess-playing demonstrated by Zappa is really outstanding. So you won't be surprised that I still consider Ed Shroder's post to be highly debatable. So who are you to give me moral lessons ? To take your own words I _already_ had comments that were "wholehearted (unreserved, unrestricted)" praise of zappa's play and achievements. and as far as i can remember : This was _long_ before you joined the crowd on this topic.
