Note especially the incoherence of his opinions: first he would never
consider the 'standards-degrading' Zillions for permitting it to play
Falcon, and now that he apparently takes a dislike to the imagined acts of
the author of Fairy-Max, he thinks he can reverse the roles at a whim.

Well, George, let me tell you a secret: if people see how you reserve the
right to revoke your agreements, no programmer in the world would ever be
prepared to implement Falcon Chess. Knowing that you would be likely to
cause them having done their work in vain, from the first day you happen 
to step out of bed with your wrong leg first. They would not touch anything 
that depended on permission of such a deceitful business partner.

The bottom line is this: you gave permission for me to put up a
non-commercial Chess program capable of playing Falcon Chess on my website
upto and including 2010, and I intend to do so. I don't think that
violates any rules of the CV website, in which case I will maintain links
to that page from here.

It seems you badly need some lessons in manners and civilized behavior, 
and I will be more than happy to teach you! In court or otherwise!
