      That is it exactly. There was also a sense of entitlement in the Kasparov camp that was not justified by his past history. You had to be able to make a leap of faith and believe that this time things would be different. Most of the people that I talked to were not able to make that leap. We will see if there is some maturity in the face of an overwhelming rejection of the politics of division or whether there will be more lawsuits.
