Geez man, everytime I post something, you post something contradicting me.  From
Nolot, to SE, to this!  (And in the case of SE, Bruce and Bob have both asked
you to prove your claims, and you have yet to do so.)

I don't argue with people on this board, I've made that a rule of thumb.  So
when people post things, that I takes as trying to start an arguement, I just
look the other way.  As I have with your last 3 or 4 replies to my posts.

Shredder is commonly, and usually refered to as the program with the most
"programmed knowledge."  Matthias Gemuh seems to think so too, so I am not the
only one.  And there is not a _SINGLE_ engine I haven't seen evalute a position
as a HUGE advantage to itself, only later to lose.  That's not stupidity, that's
computer chess.

I've seen Deep Fritz say it's up +9.00 and draw.  Bob has reported he has been
up +5.00 and drawn, against HUMANS!  Sometimes things just don't pan out.

In the last month, I've seen more posts about how "stupid" Junior 7 is (in it's
play, being too agressive) than I have ever heard of Shredder doing stupid
things.

So next time you post something, replying to me, instead of simply "laughing"
why don't you give your thoughts on the subject, instead of simply bashing
someone elses?  Perhaps then you'll come off as being more a part of this board,
and a little less like a troll.  And at least you'll give me a chance to laugh
back at you.
