Ignacio sent me a generous note recently, to which I replied:

I think that's absolutely right.  I was reading things on your pages
which said more or less the opposite of what I was saying and yet were
completely correct!  e.g. on romantic openings.  Hence my salty
comments.  But of course, I am a 1900 player writing for juniors, and
you are a master writing for me.  That's actually a better way to put
it, and I might tweak the link accordingly.  I'm sure you know your
style and comments are widely appreciated, by me also.
