Who gave you the authority to speak for the whole chess community?
I didn't see any voting. My fault?

He has not asked for money for Houdini, and has responded to feedback in short order as the fix for the MPV bug in version 1.03 shows. Some commercial authors have been much worse at costumer feedback (eg the Rybka 3 bug fix fiasco).
So please Robert, ignore the noisy few and accept the thanks of those of us who appreciate your work.

A while back before the very first appearance of Houdini,computer chess fans were hoping someone will improve the strongest single processor chess engine and make it multiprocessor....Robert has done exactly this
Open your eyes regards,

Well, thanks Robert for Houdini.
Opinions are like armpits. Everybody has more than one and they usually stink.
Forget about the criticism.
@That guy wanting a Houdini GUI:
I'm programming a chess GUI in my spare time (written in Java), I dunno when I'll release it (I don't work on it much), but you can be sure it will happen.

Thanks against, Robert, for the #1 chess engine in the world, and free to boot!
