 It has been made a big deal because Peter Skinner acted wrongly..... A
moderator should act at the backstages and not producing noise. Vasik's post was
actually against the charter, although not 100% clear for many(excluding me),
but sometimes the moderator should judge himself and not be based on clear
evidence. That was Peter did and that is correct, but did it with the completely
wrong way....

 As Albert Silver already told and i agree 100%, that was the ONLY post by Vasik
with a kind of advertisement inside and all other of his posts were following
the charter. Peter stated otherwize believing that there was a continuous
advertisement for Rybka but didn't show any examples. And i don't mean examples
by posters different than Vasik. You can't blame Vasik for what others post,
right?  Or you can, as Vasik has tranformed us to his minions....? :-)

 One annoying also thing is Peter selectively answers to the numerous questions
and statements of a post or disregards completely the contains of the post he
replies and his replies are the same words over and over..... Uri, Albert and
others gave some very clear facts in the form of questions that have been
completely ignored.....:-(
