Earth to Dave, that was a joke, the main point of which was to jibe at Kasparov
for demanding the DB printouts, not to say anything about Amir.  As I said I'm
rooting for Deep Junior.  I included the smileys for a reason, and I resent your
trying to twist it any other way, whether deliberately or just because it
doesn't fit with your sense of humor.  I don't know Amir from Adam, and am not
trying to say anything about him.  And frankly I wouldn't even care *if* he gave
Kasparov a softball or not, it's just not that important.  In my book Kasparov
is done with serious computer challenges, and I no longer care what computers he
plays.
