Then again, it would be a disaster to shut up the world's most successful
(and willing to share!) comp. chess experts here.

Those few people that are not interested enough in all aspects of comp. Go
to endure some message floods occasionally, should adjust the list
subscription to "daily digest" or "weekly digest" if that exists.

I am *extremely* interested in Java vs. C speed topics because I thought,
like Vincent, that is was very slow, and that was the only reason I am not
using it now, which is a very sad thing, as I am not not cross-OS
compatible.

I have never, ever seen a refutation of the "Java is much slower than
C/Delphi" so if Vincent & Mark can shed light on this and solve the issue
once and for all, I might even start porting to Java.

Saying: "ploink" and "shut up" is a bad idea.
Those guys are computer-game guru's and everything they say might be worth
gold or more.

They are arrogant bastards but *highly* successful arrogant bastards :)
