I have neither started that thread, nor am I in hurry for
a fixed Arena GUI, it's simply not my business.
Remember that I just answered a post to Wael, who spread
around the strange philosophy, that a good GUI would be a GUI,
which reduces the number of time losses...
(Why do we use time controls at all, may be we should abandon them
in the future?)
You seem to be the godfather of this philosophy, after looking
into some of your posts?
I wonder how you came to that conclusion?
Moreover I am much too lazy for writing long messages and
even more for reading long messages.

Wish you a nice Xmas week,
Guenther
