I dont want to see this end with someone else that has >good posts getting kicked. Your are absolutely correct, My post is not hard to understand at all, I have come to the conclusion that I have some enemies here, Every thing I say, even the smallest metaphor gets twisted and abused, Yet I am not abusive to anyone else's post. Having said this I see my time is up here at CCC. It seems that Kids and obnoxious posters have won the day. I wrote a innocent post trying to understand the reasons why very strong programs are not commericially availble (ferret and tiger). I was hopeing that I could get a intelligent post explaining the reasons why. Luckily I did get two (brucemoreland and David Johnson) Who explained why it is difficult to publish a program and some of the reasons why programmers choose not to do. I wrote back to david johnson thanking him for his insights. Then I get a barrage of garbage and insults from people who obviously did not read my post carefully. Like everyone else I am a computer chess addict,I enjoy some of the discussions here. I don't come here to be insulted, so please if you don't understand my post, either don't reply to it, or ask me specifically what it is you don't understand.
