Hello Bob and Bruce.  Lets not even waste our time with an individual who
obviously is very envious as to how well crafty performs.  Jimmy you obviously
have plenty of time to find fault in how these two individuals set up matches
with there programs but your time might be better spent if you thank them for
all they have done in the computer chess field and the assistance they have
given other programmers through the years.  Sorry Bob and Bruce I know you don't
need anyone to come to your defense but this post just got a bit further under
my skin then usual.
