Thanks to Amir, and to Don and Bruce.  They put in the time, and deserve a great
deal of gratitude.

Let's resolve in the new year to put aside any differences, and to be more
tolerant of each other's opinions.  If one feels slighted, it is better to offer
an intellectual and reasoned rebuttal than to resort to name-calling.  This
whole endeavor is, after all, in the interests of furthering the computer chess
field, and we can only accomplish that goal if we put aside our ego and
understand that there is much left to discover.
