No...  And I am much less concerned now.  I had been sent a copy of excerpts
that seemed to imply that it was a chessbase or kasparov-like article.  Now I
see the actual author, and don't really care what his opinion is.  If you read
the article slowly and carefully, it looks idiotic anyway.  I'd have to have
my name on the 'byline'...
