IMO Bob Hyatt reacted on Vincents vocabulary with the maximum possible friendliness as academic. I fear you underestimate the nonsense V. is writing from time to time. Others would stop all communication with such correspondent. In Vincent's case Bob tried to be an elderly critic full of mild irony. While V. goes into crass verbal de-regulations. But the limit is if you accuse unjustified a scientist of fraud. A scientist without commercial interest in computerchess. Somewhere there must be a limit! You can criticise all you want and a normal scientist will be happy to have a dispute with you. But somehow you must also show some respect for the academic education. Look, the critic of Hyatt and yours truly against the TD board in Graz is academically sound because it's logically based on the rules and reality. Vincent however has no case at all and he still is talking about 'fraud'. Rolf
