  Does your disagreement spring from own experience or is it just a
  blindfolded one, Uri? Some questions for you:

  1) Do you have and regularly use CB 8 for databasing ?

  2) Do you have and regularly use the Fritz 7 GUI ?

  3) Have you tested and tried WinBoard engines under any
     Fritz interface? If so, did you notice that Fritz sends a
     "new" command to the engine on every move? Therebye clearing
     the hash memory. Have you noticed that the Fritz WB adapter
     kills the WB engines ponder function, after a short while?

  4) Do you follow and read the German chess foras and the heavy
     critics from a multitude dissatisfied customers?

  5) Do you follow and read other English spoken chess foras, like
     RGCC?

  6) Have you ever tried to reach the ChessBase support with some
     complaints? If yes, did you get a response? If yes the second time -
     then you must be born under a lucky star, cause you just won the
     monthly CB lottery.
