Bob, you must not see Vincent too badly because like the average chessplayer he's also as a programmer sort of Don Quichote who is fighting against windmills, and that when as a Dutch he should know that this is foolish. But it is paedagogically very valuable that you do no longer accept (tolerate) the biggest nonsense if it only comes from someone out of the scene, testing field or programming. There is something above that, namely decent science. It is very telling that people who lack the class of one Fritz Reul defamed the guy here in public and they sthemselves simply don't have the expected results although they have always foot full in their mouths. Just a question: is there a connection, dear Bob? ;) Rolf, who could never program anything decent at all...
