I hope this is not my personality all the time. Yes I have been a little bit
(too much?) arrogant, but I'm on this forum since the beginning and I have been
silently keeping my feelings for too long.
So of course when these feelings are expressed, they rush out with fury...

I don't hate Bob. I won't even if he goes on the same way. I just think that
some truths are worth saying sometimes.
Of course, what I said is just my point of view. But you noticed I don't care
about keeping politically correct.

That's where I want to be judged, and I'm not afraid. Not because I'm so sure of
myself. I never said Chess Tiger is the best program. But I really like chess
programming, I'm determined, and I like competition.
If Tiger is not that good, it will be said. If another program is not that good,
it has to be said too, whatever status and love credit it has.
