If you speak German I can give you some examples from the CSS during the years,
culminating in the article by Mr. Donninger about Bob Hyatt but I am sure you
know the article and aprove it. I also asume that you are aware of each article
wrote in the CSS. Just a small translation of one of them: "Who does need all
this crap engines when we have Fritz...?" This one was written by Mr. Liebert.

The market has decided already that the magazine is crap. The magazine is not
published anymore in paper form and it is only a question of time till it will
disapear also as an online magazine. So many people agree with what I am saying.

I think that Christian has personal problems with Eduard, who is by the way more
competent than Christian, but I am sure you have noticed this, as you surely
read the entire thread.

Christian said everyone is allowed to say his opinion so I told him mine. I
could tell you about many articles about "original" programs in the CSS. Any
serious magazine would have checked those engines before stating that they are
original, they didn't so it is crap.

Another example is an article in the first online edition that me has left the
Arena team after internal disputes. Well I could go on but they already look
stupid.

Also in their "original" articles they forget to cite the sources they have
used, but I am sure you have noticed that already. Nice examples are the
articles about Claude Shannon, Crafty insulting Bob Hyatt, absolutly incompetent
articles about Alybadix stating that this and that is not possible (of course it
is). Maybe they should have said we were to stupid to read the manual.
