Sure you are.

But I am feeling equally allowed to have a critical opinion on the way you tell
the story, as nobody else than you decided to have a public discussion on this
topic.
Weren't you the one who initiated the thread?

The title of your initial post was "Rybka book made just for fun and the
program...oustanding result!".

Anybody would have opened it with the feeling that you had contributed a
significant improvement to rybka already impressive results with your "made for
fun" book.

And then discovering that this superlative title was for a mere four games match
was a bit surprising when there are already reports for hundreds of Rybka games.

A four games match has no signification. How can this result be an "outstanding
result!" (with an exclamation mark)?

>I did not make any comments on you and your work, why are you on mine?

When _you_ decide to publish results in a public forum and when _you_ describe
these results as outstanding, nobody could have a diverging opinion ?

>Do you want to start a war?

Not at all.
If you initiate a thread, do not be surprised that it is possible that someone
will not agree with your opinion.

Moreover you posted more on this topic in a couple of days (19 posts by you in
the same thread in less than two days) than on your whole book-cooking work
during the last six months. I just sent two posts in the same time...

I would prefer getting news on your ongoing progresses with shredder 9 ans 10.
