Maybe they reacted towards Kevin the way did because they knew that this guy is
full of sh*t, before even bruce brought it out?

Than it would make a lot of sense wouldn't it?

I ussually see that you don't show a little bit of respect for most of the
old-timers in this forum.
If I am not wrong, you are somewhat new in this forum, it wouldn't hurt too
much, if you would do a little research about someone, before accusing them
(Andrew and Mogens), of something rather stupid.

If you take out the "them-being-european" thingie out of your mind, than
everything makes good sense.

Kevin kinda looked suspicious to me right at the beginning when he bought the
chess tournament thread up. I didn't participate in any of the discussion.

I would be very happy if it actually worked out, it would be easier for me to
go.

cheers,
pavs ;)
