  All of this has nothing to do with the discussion.

  Truth vs lies. That's the problem. Frank lies. He says he has tested Ruffian 2
and it is the strongest winboard in the world. Then Deep Sjeng wins Leo Diskman
tournament, which doesn't prove Deep Sjeng is better than Ruffian 2, but shows
there's doubt enough for that Frank's claim to be unacceptable. Then it seems
that Ruffian 2 is weaker than other versions of Ruffian. Now Frank comes and
says he has not tested Ruffian 2 enough and the other version can be stronger.
Then I point this out and Frank comes again to say he has tested Ruffian 2 very
well...
  I, myself, don't have any problem. I haven't bought Ruffian and I won't do it.
It's a discussion about professional ethics, not about a problem I have.
  I'm only asking Frank to say the truth to the customers from the begining.
