Because this is a case of principles. I saw how Vincent treated Bob for long. I
read how the Levy/Herigk organization reacted on Bob's relevant critics.  I
smell something and although I am as far from being an expert in CC as Bob is an
expert I can analyse the logic of arguments in special if it comes to data and
statistics. Of course can defend himself. In special when he doesn't have to
defend at all. But it's simply stinking when I watch how nobody from the clique
of programmers says something about all the topics. Finally I react as academic.
I must do ROTFL every time I read something about the participation in those Wch
and other events and the prejudices about the net. Veritable GM play online but
programmers of chessprograms want to _operate_ ten days and longer! It is nasty
now I know, but don't they have a regular job? Or are they so rich that they can
do that at will. Or do they convince their institutions that operating a
chessprogram needed the programmer themselves? (I know that the "rules" of the
ICCA require that. But is it not laughable?)

Yes, for all that I write. If only one single famous and successful programmer
would write in defense of Bob I were somewhere else. But this is so mean and
indecent. Perhaps I write also because I like this man who has so much heart
blood for computerchess.
