Djordje,
perhaps you remember me when I hold contact to you during the Nato war against
Serbia.
I've read your report and can well imagine the pain you must have felt during
that hour waiting there and still now.
Are you really surprised that such things happen on the net? Do you really
believe that life on the net is real life?
The net itself is producing such paranoia you spoke of. Has nothing to do with
one Lieske or ChessBase. What do you believe how I felt when I suddenly couldn't
enter this club here and had no email facility for a while?
Somewhere I read that these ratings on the Fritz server are a beautiful toy but
nothing else. What does it bother you if you are called Bauer instead of Knight?
You can wait a couple of months and then you can contact official sysmins but
then you'll pay for the entry. Until then you can imagine the importance of
Machiavelli for comparable jobs...
Since you are so successfully engaged with the amateurs and Ruffian it would
surprise me if you really wanted to see you in a role of any pompousness. You
are the engaged idealist with too much spare time by definition, no? ;)
Wasn't it help enough for you when you became an author for CSS right after the
mentioned war? Don't you have a direct line to Friedel anymore?
What I really fear is that your complaining leads us even sooner to the not-free
areas in chess. That cannot be what you could intend. Since you are a very
flexible Serb as I could see during the bombings at the time. ;)

Rolf
