That is not the question.
My point is not that he or me is more qualified, or even you.
My point is that the programmers who critizised the exception will have
to prove, and even if also They will not find anything, it remains:
the ssdf - guys have made an exception for ChessBase.
Why ?
They have not made an exception for Turbo-Kit Schaetzle+Bsteh,
they never made an exception testing hiarcs on the same machine than
genius, but they make exceptions for Fritz5 ?
Why ?

He did not sign the open letter.
But you are right, he complained.
He is IMO ONE of the programmers who can prove it.
But still the question remains: why an exception for ChessBase when
there have been no exceptions for 10 other companies in all the years ?
