What do we know of the contents of Hsu's letters/emails and the according
answers? Nothing, noone has seen them. We are all just guessing. Do you/we know
what happened behnd the curtain the last 2 years? Maybe Kasparow has fed up
discussing with Hsu and trying to setup a re-match. It is senseless to guess on
and on.

So don't throw mud just because of some hearsay.
