Sure, but you complemented their efforts and not their opinions. It could also
be irony, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

The rudimentary reflections were not expressed in words, only ordinary
gratitude. That's okay of course, but if everyone thank everyone else for typing
a word, the cheerleading syndrom, would quickly make sensible debate impossible.
Try e-mail instead.

That sounds reasonable even though I imagine that BGN paid for the hotel room
and the extra PC. But running an autoplay match can be difficult, or so I've
heard.

I didn't make any such assumption, but now you've stated that your opinions
differ from the ones expressed by Enrique. The exact difference of opinion is
unknown though.

Same here. Remember to thank the ones who's opinion you share ;-).
