I see that I have done Bruce an injustice and I am very sorry. I reacted to the bickering about crafty beeing idle and not allowing certain people to play it and saw Bruce's post in this thread and he got my complaints. I see now that this was completely wrong and I hope a can correct this mistake a little bit by appologising here, so once again I'm sorry Bruce ! All I said about the bickering, which was wrongly directed at Bruce, I still think is valid. It should have been directed at other people who I hope read my post and understand that they was the target. Best regards Andreas Stabel
