You're an asshole.

Ferret is GREAT program, and I'd be more than happy to pay for it.  It has done
_VERY_ well in other tournaments.  So it had a bad showing, oh well.

Of course, I'd rather NOT pay for it.  But hey, Bruce has worked hard on it, and
deserves some compensation.

What pisses me off, is that Ferret did NOT do better.  Which, thank to asshole's
like yourself, creates bad press.  Which means Bruce KNOWS this is not the
"optimal" moment to release it.  Had in won, I was convinced he'd finally
release it.

Troll, don't be a dick.  Bruce is a TERRIFIC guy.  He helps SO much, and gives a
LOT to this board.  No one wants to hear your bullshit.  Have a little dignity.
A little respect.
