One further important rule. One should never be ironic in interviews. The
ironie is almost always lost.
E.g. when we played against Adams the default question was "why do you not play
against Kasparov". I could not stand this question anymore and in a press
conference shortly before the match I said "Because Adams is the much stronger
opponent". I got bad comments on this sentence..
Another rule is: Most journalists are writing almost all of the time about
themselves and not about the topic at hand. If one is interested in a story,
the easiest thing to get one is to invite the journalist and to cook for them.
They can than write how they liked the eating. Which is already a story about
themselves.

Thank you Don.
I did not know that, I am not used to :-).
Then I'll stop worrying for these kind of things and stop trying to give back
the truth :).
Bye,

It doesn't surprise me. It's common to get misquoted. One thing that
is
even more common - at some point you are likely to make a quote that
will
live forever (and it can even be a misquote.) Someone will quote it,
they will latch onto it, and others will "cut and paste" from the first
author who quoted (or misquoted) you!
