I agree, it just grates on me how people are always willing to put
down others without having all the complete facts.

I understand they were not involved in the decision to use a phone or not.
I just meant to hear there side of all the events that transpired.
Following is quoted from the letter:
"Similar problems occurred in game three. I had to wait for more than two and
half-hours before we could start and only a few minutes before midnight the
CK/Deep Junior team fixed the problem. After all this waiting, I did what
everybody else would do in the situation, i.e. ask for time compensation.
However, the Deep Junior team refused and during the time of fixing the
technical problems, there had been a row on the phone between Mr. Leong and our
contacts on the other side. I gathered that Mr. Leong was talking to Shay and
Aviv Bushinsky, but I was left out of the discussion as Mr. Leong did not want
me to get more annoyed than I was. I sat in the middle of the room and waited."
Thanks.
