Funny: YOU attacked me of jumping into a thread about neural networks while I
allegedly had no idea, no knowledge about neural networks. This was a serious ad
hominem attack and at the same time bloody nonsense because I didn't write
something about neural networks but about _chess_ (the Subject was originally
'Chess and neural networks'). To demostrate how funny you usually argue I quoted
from your own contributions that you once wrote to the people that your father
had built a university in Africa. This was therefore strange because people
should say what they have studied but NOT what their _fathers_ had achieved.

After this message about your OWN message about your father you objected and
informed us that your father had NEVER built a university in Africa. And others
already informed the group that these messages about your father would mean
"pissing too much". Hehe.

So I gave exact _wording_ of your messages where you explained what your father
had done, then I asked you to explain your sudden objection. You didn't answer
me. But here you are now "explaining" that you were way too decent to even
remark when you (you!! - not _me_ whom you had attacked with your mean ad
hominem!) were attacked...

Christophe, are you still in Africa or somewhere else with a tropical climate?
Perhaps we can clarify your confusion?!

With best wishes,

Rolf
