Ed, I can understand you maybe don't want to discuss this any further here and
maybe don't have much hope for David Levy's proposals in the present state of
affairs but does this mean you are not backing the ideas that David Levy put
forth. I'm not sure how good negotiations between David Levy and Ray Keene would
go but maybe he can take it up with BGN's chairman Sir jeremy Stanley, the
former leader of the Tory-party and as a professional diplomat maybe he would be
open to constructive suggestions. BGN are bound by trilateral contracts, the
contract with Kramnik is at least in place since November, as I understood from
this link http://www.sptimes.ru/archive/times/618/news/n_781.htm. But they state
there they want to see a match with "the World's strongest computer".

If they are really serious about that I don't see why they wouldn't listen to
proposals that are backed by the ICCA and the computer-chess community.

So Chris Whittington may consider David Levy's proposals just a "spoiler" but I
think they deserve a hearing. Anyway that's just my personal opinion.

 Groeten,
 Eelco
