This is crazy! - 3/25/99 >> >>From Gambitsoft Why Charles? Why ... ? Why do you write such a hypocritical and silly message? I admire Bob for what he has done for the "chess_geeks" around the world. However I often disagree or even dislike his personal attitude towards some issues ... but it will be a TOTAL LIE and STUPIDITY to say or even sugest that I would like to see him go. The man has KNOWLEDGE and he is WILLING TO SHARE IT with *poor* souls like you. If it hadn't been for people like him you, I, and many others will be still thinking that computers can be used only as paper-weights for countless chess books. If this is the case, and I believe it is, why do you put-down Bob with bogus and in many cases undeserved remarks about his peronality. You don't know what his motivations are! Even if you did know it is still NONE of your busines to criticize Bob's(anybodys) motivations or beliefs!!! Ideas and Actions is the only thing one should criticize, argue, fight, protect, prove .... just like a religious person doesn't have to protect his/her god or prove that god exist. Please stop thrashing... Hristo
