Erik:
Maybe you are right in a degree, but only in the sense a mad academic I knew, a
patetic guy of the math department in my faculty,  a man that finally wrote a
book about "The importance of Water for Navigation". You have discovered the
same, or almost. Yes, there are childish behaviour here, but remember, this is a
childish site. Here a lot of people get liberty to his most childish aspect. Or
you believe it is really serious or proper of adulthood to expend hours talking
of chess programs? This is like in any sport: once you have take off your normal
cloths and put over  a short and get a ball, you are ready for behaving like a
child. You are ready to smash your best friend in order to avoid he will get a
point for his team and you are ready to sheer like crazy if your team score.
Etc. And this is a place where we do exactly that: we are not anymore scientist,
writers, accountants, semiologists or biologist: we are just a bunch of kids
playing with some marvellous toys. If we had to be like adults in the middle of
this game, half or more the charm would vanish. So let them resign, cry, fight
and whatever. It is part of the fun. I am just preparing my own next number for
this soap opera. I want to be part of the drama. Why not. So, if you does not
agree with me, I announce right now my resignation to this forum.
Fernando
