I don't have a problem with a and b, it's the c that starts to annoy me. Do you
really need to quote Vincent with this "look what he said about me here" stuff.

I can understand your frustation/irritation, but I don't really like to read
about it all over this place. Your opinion is clear and understood. It's just
that I'm here mostly to read about computerchess, and not about 2 computerchess
people.
