The reason for my post above is the bickering about beeing alowed to play
one of the many craftys available, when even the source is free and people
can set crafty up in any configuration they want and play it.

A lot of this bickering is pretty vicious in the tone and completely
unwarranted for the reasons statet above and from the reasons Mr. Hyatt has
given, causing my perhaps too harsh statement above.

But I have not got you confused, because the following line from the post
above:
--- >>>

shows that you are also part of the bickering, so my statement stands.
