Why else would he complain that crafty is well below programs X, Y and Z, and then later publish a tournament crosstable where crafty finished _above_ them in the final standings? Did he write the first half of the article in 1998, and the last half in 2000? And not remember what he had already written? I didn't like his past statements (false) about Aegon. I didn't like his decision about Bionic in the Dutch tournaments. I don't like this article either... seems to be a trend... > >>Enrique >> >>>James
