Hi Michael,

Thanks for your support.

I) Of course the problem exists longer than today. Still, it is very easy for me
to spot whether the Rebel book is being copied or not. I have made many
arrangements in the book to check this out. IMO copying is copying, melted
together with other books or not. I think you would agree with me that when
somebody takes all good parts of Fritz, Tiger, Junior, Shredder and others
together and puts his name on this program, this will not be accepted. The same
is for openingbooks.

II) I am not the person to see it happening, to watch and do nothing. I hope it
will change. I cannot see in the future, so I start the discussion this way. How
it will continue: We will see.

Jeroen
