Obviously there is a atmosphere created at CCC to where any negative comment
said about a specific program, however honestly made is misconstrued as an
attack on the programmer. I think this is rediculous. Personally I think the
article concerning crafty was extremely accurate. Crafty is not in the same
class as the top commericial programs, This however does not mean that crafty
sucks. Crafty is a strong master level program, but it falls short of the
commericials. The truth is the truth, doesn't mean you don't like the
programmer or are baised against the program.
