Thanks for speaking out what I also thought but didn't want to publish because perhaps it could be said that a lay attacked a famous programmer like Isenberg. To me this looks also absolutely odd how Paul H is being attacked. Let me clarify the logical: IF it COULD be proven that Paul "created" his data [Paul, sorry just for the sake of the logic here!] instead of really disassembling it from both exes (ElChinito and Crafty) THEN of course Gert could be well applauded with his critic. But many others already said that Paul's data were ok - BUT even they could have based their verdict on other details than exact disaassembling of the ElChinito exe. So - IF IF IF, then Gert would be applauded. The point is that actually PauL is a less known name than the one of Gert. Also to remember: Bob could only certify what he was given as alleged Chinito disassembled code. So also here a lack of authenticity might exist. But somehow I can smell a rat. Sorry my language. The asking of Gert if Paul was legally disassembling exes looks odd itself!! That question doesn't speak for a pure scientifical interest. Since Gert used it I am not so motivated to support him. Also I see no motif for Paul of having made up the whole ElChinito debugging. - Everybody confused right now? Good. :) I'm still voring for Paul against Gert!
