Subject: An Inside joke, a running gag, or a protest?

I had the time today to log the top ICC chess programs and read their finger
notes as I do from time to time. When I came across Crafty's (Bob Hyatt's finger
notes) Bob's finger notes claim Crafty is running on a 486/66 with 4 MB ram, and
a 40MB hard drive. At the same time it is using 20GB of EGTB's (Ahhh.
compression software.:) )

Is this just a joke or some kind of protest or just plain sarcasm for other
underreporting their hardware? A possible example Mofongo, claiming to run on a
PII 450 and running Crafty has a rating of 3210, at the same time Crafty (bob's
crafty) running on qaud Xeon PII 400 has a rating of 2969. {Bob?)
