Odd Bruce that you take such a stupid stance on the matter, when just the other
day on ICC you were stating that one revision of Ferret wasn't playing as well
as another. Yet you seemed to think that everyone cared, or that everyone there
was seriously interested whether one version was better than the other. None are
public, so why should anyone really care?

Isn't that sort of the same thing?

We were only watching the game, just as we are reading posts on the forum here.

Daniel is interested in ChessMaster personality settings, and their strengths,
why should he not be able to post about the tournaments he holds with them?

If you are not interested, why read the post, and make such a lame remark about
it. Just don't read it. Don't come on and be a troll about it.

Grow up.
