No, the point of adding Adrien is that if he supposedly knows all three of you then it should be simple enough to clear up. Although apparently you don't know David Wilke ;-) Posted by David Wilke "Is the author of Faile Peter Skinner to, just because he knows him personally?" http://www.it.ro/ccc_search/ccc.php?art_id=159655 Very similar to what you said in ; http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?241201 "I believe he also showed the author of Faile" >If you only just how much interest there is in Edmonton relating to computer >chess.

A simple search of the posts of Peter Skinner and David Wilke shows how Wilke initially defended Skinner in much the same way you did. He shortly followed that up by posting as Skinner, then saying he was at Skinners house using Skinners PC!. You on the other hand were absent from CCC during the Galati - Skinner episodes, yet knew all about it and whom Skinner showed this Fedex receipt to. I notice also from a quick look at a few of your posts one in particular struck me; http://www.it.ro/ccc_search/ccc.php?art_id=203622 What struck me was the following paragraph; "I have been watching the progress of the program Leila for some time now. I observed this game on FICS last night. Although Leila lost the game, it was a longer time control game which is really odd for ICS play. The opponent Azkikr(C) is a Crafty clone on rather weak hardware." Any idea who the account Azkikr belongs to?....would you believe it Peter Skinner !! Call me stupid, think what you want, but I see that at least 99% of the posters here, see what I see. The same person. Sarah.
