Anthony,
I did look for something interesting that Mr. Snoop Dog (whatever his name was)
had to say. What I found was opinions, vague insinuations and pompousness.
The reason why people here, more so than in other places on the internet, react
on the spot when they small a "rat" is because if they don't then the messages
scroll away and are never challenged. The format of the this forum almost
insists a quick reply.

Here I will play a fictitious character for you called Mr, Snoop Daug.
"Yo, bro, wassup!
I've been playing with them wooden pieces, bro, and I have a favoutit, yo.
Against most of the caamputer inventions, especially those that are better
endowed than Wonder-woman,  I manage %45 percent, but there is one that is just
not able to deal, yo, with my snoopy moves and I get to crush it with %80; That
program is Zappa. Here is what I do, yo, I like to move my pieces to the left
and then sharply swing them back to the right; this confuses Zappa and _it_ goes
cross-eyed, yo word, it is just a pushover from that point on. The other
programs are better at this, they just release a puff and continue to chase meh
pieces. But I'm working on the sharpness of my swing and this is getting them
(all) confused ... perhaps soon enough I will cross the %50 against the rest.
"
This is a joke, obviously, but I hope it illustrates the point.

Regards,
Hristo
