Well, I had to go view the complainant's cited page, to give him his due,
and it might appear that he, or at least someone, has a modest commercial
interest in this issue.

I might be more inclined to give his views some thought...especially since
I once held them...but for his utter lack of politeness.

The preponderance of the evidence in 2002 argues for the 2-handed game
being first, possibly by centuries, but the question is surely not
settled.
