It sounds like you're the one "far out" -- have you been to Mars lately?

The top atheletes of today are bigger, stronger faster and better - than
yesteryear.  Why should that surprise you?  If nothing else, there are more
people on this planet than 50 years ago -- if you been here on earth you might
have noticed - that alone could account for the difference.

End of discussion - it's not related to computer chess at this point and I'm not
taking it to the CTF.
