How do you think >his boss would have reacted? I would think he would be fired just due to the >possibility he might do the same to the software he was working on. I do not agree about it. Firing somebody only because of suspect that was not proved is a stupid behaviour. I think that people are not going to work in a company if they know the company behave in that way. > >Did you ever stop to think about that? I have seen idiots like Harold, run >people off this board just because he doesn't agree with their views. I do not think that he is an idiot. I do not see the point of attacking people after they apologize. I understood that the claim was that 2 books are the same and this claim was wrong but I did not see it as a direct accusation against Mr. Lunsen even if it is proved that the books are the same because it was not clear to me that Lunsen is responsible for the problem. Even in that case there are other possibilities. For example it is possible that someone else put the wrong book as Lunsen's book and Lunsen is not responsible for it.

I do not remember a single game of him against computers in this forum. I remember games of Eduard nemeth against computers in this forum. Uri
