Procative questions, as you do, cause >misunderstandings. I did make a value judgement. The value of the advise given (not by you) to Mike Adams was poor, biased and simplistic and I decided to do something about it. For better or worse. You only replied after he repeated specific questions in a separate thread. Good answers as far as I can tell. >Mogens, I remember I had a great problem with you in the Winboard Forum. Do you >remember it? The cause was the Crux Winboard Engine. I also remember how I was >trying to help Tony Worsman. Then, you posted your "provocative questions". The >result was a confrontation between me and Tony. What is the real sense of this? No, I don't remember. If you want to post allogations you better have some proof to back it up. Especially if you want to put the blame for your behaviour towards Tony on me. That's the definition of pathetic IMHO. Everyone is responsible for his or her own actions. >For example, Mike Adams is programming a new Winboard Engine called Pulsar.

I think his questions are legitimate because he wants to remove any >doubt about what is the correct way of using the Chess Partner Gui with his >Winboard Engine. Excuse me, but I think you're unaware of the exact chain of events. He tried that option several times, before something relevant was revealed. Of course his questions were relevant. Why do you think I tried to help answer them? All this text and you have no idea about the thread in question. If you have any questions about that issue, please post them. Your testsuites and ELO rating is irrelevant regarding the original subject and so is my patzer chess abilities. >He doesn't use "provocative questions" as you call your questions. I tried to >answer all his questions in this Forum. The same thing goes to another people >who has asked something in this Forum: if I am in the know of an useful >something that can help them, I don't have any problem in posting it for helping >them. Better late than never seems to be the operative word here. Besides, I have nothing against relevant, unbiased information. Quite the contrary. Maybe you should read the relevant messages before jumping to conclusions about my intentions. >Tell me: what do you want to know about the new Rebel Tiger, Rebel Century or >the Chess Partner GUI? Why don't you use direct questions, instead of >provocative and sarcastic questions? I don't want to know anything about any Rebel product. However, Mike Adams did. A popular misconception that has been repeated endlessly by your colleagues. Somehow they seem to think that every good Gambit Tiger result annoys me or disturbs my ability to sleep. It doesn't. I really couldn't care much less than I did before. The little squirmishes are quite amusing, but that's about it. >You don't have to make a great effort for being a little polite. Yes, that's correct. Unfortunately it works both ways. >If you are clear in your postings, of course, you will be able to get clear and >good answers. That's another widespread misconception. >Of course, you will respond this posting. I won't respond anything of this kind >of arid messages about the way you post your messages. However, If you want >specific answers of the Rebel Tiger Suite, I don't have any problem in answering >you. Why would I want to know anything about a Rebel suite? I never asked such a questions. Very weird. I suggest reading the old thread in its entirety before posting a message irrelevant in that context. I wonder if there are other Rebel beta testers with the desire to post something close to completely irrelevant. Please do, it's a lot of fun. Regards, Mogens
