This comment is bad taste and should not be said by an intelligent person, as
you seem to be.

Bob may be "religious" about DB but, on the other hand, I remember that before
the 1987 match against Kasparov people were saying in Usenet how DB was a bluff,
how it hadn't demonstrated being superior to the commercials, etc (exactly the
same things that they are saying today, by the way, you can look in DejaNews to
confirm that what I say it is true. Among the posters were Ed Schroeder and Amir
Ban, I believe). After all that, DB won the Kasparov match. I say this because
Bob is not the only one "religious" about his point of view, the other side is,
in my view, much more "religious".
