Anthony is a very nice guy, has an incredible strong program. He is very self-confidence - but not arrogant. He made an impolite statement about Leo, intended to be a joke. He already relativated that statement. Statements with the sense "I don't care about single processor performance" obiously make the relation of a commercial program author to his potential customers more difficult and tend to polarize the community. Eduard, probably a bit moped about that, lost his former sympathy for Zappa and began to post selective losses of Zappa from chessbase server and "opened" the next "escalation cycle" of the vanity fair.
