Firstly what is a team ?

If you want to stuff me and TC in a team, you'll need to first check,
tighten and replace the ropes attaching his cannon to my deck.

Mchess killer book issues, I take the entirely opposite view to
Thorsten. Genius I agree with him, but his reasoning as to why Genius is
'boring' is incorrect.

Anyway, my motives are rarely pure, this I freely admit.

Now how about the attacks last year on Mchess and this year on Mchess ?
Can you explain the coincidence, or should the usual suspicious motives
start to apply ?

Quite so. But when a demolition job (not entirely your doing, accepted)
gets done on another program/programmer on morality grounds - then there
are external factors which may well need discussing. Surely your'e not
going to censor me for bringing this up ....... ?

Maybe, but only if totally divorced from naming names. You've been
naming names. Mchess, Sandro Nechi etc.
