Zappa is undoubtedly the world champion and I wish it all the best, maintain its
status and even beat Hydra in the near future.  Also undoubtedly its author has
made a remarkable job to ahieve its present strength and I congratulate its
author for the job well done.

Alas, one unsolicited advise -- success doesn't have to make one to sound
arrogant, boastful, or even plain persistent.  It is still the best to be
successful and humble, even when one's person or achievement is being attacked
relentlessly.

I do not personally know Shredder's SMK but I am his great fan because he
epitomizes true gentleness and humbleness.  Being a passive chess fan but a
sharp observant, it did not escape me when majority of ChessBase news articles
for Shredder is wittingly/unwittingly negative.  I was waiting for SMK to rebut,
defend, or fight back due this but in every single occasion he did not.

Instead he chose to be quiet and let his Shredder's achievements speak for
himself.

DESIDERATA - Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there
may be in silence.  As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with
all persons.  SPEAK YOUR TRUTH QUIETLY AND CLEARLY; AND LISTEN TO OTHERS, EVEN
THE DULL AND IGNORANT; THEY TOO HAVE THEIR STORY..................
