Basically because I do have a life, and checking CCC 4 times a day for possible
inaccuracies is not part of it. In fact I'm usually 2 days behind, reading. On a
fast moving forum like this one it makes little sense to reply after 2+ days,
and that's the main reason for me not to try.

Usually that's not a problem because there is a huge base of regulars (whose
lives do include checking CCC pretty often :-) Together they form the spine of
this forum, providing knowledge, experience, wisdom, and news whenever it's
needed. Even when a few (in)famous individuals take a day off, or a month.

In this particlar case Kurt reacted quickly to a misinterpretation and many then
reacted quickly to Kurt, hence the fuss. Unfortunately virtually no one
questioned the misinterpretation itself, which still puzzles me. By the time
I caught up the damage was already considerable and my lame attempt at humor
fell flat.

So now I'm sad and PO'ed at the same time. Which is a rather weird feeling,
especially after just having played some pretty exciting games at Leiden.
I'm glad though at least 1 person here is not PO'ed.

Or alternatively, look at poster. :-)
