I simply asked the question.  It was public knowledge.  And Bionic hasn't been
heard from for a long time.  I wanted to know if (a) it was a real program or
(b) the person playing the game knew bionic was really crafty.  Makes little
sense to have multiple copies of _one_ program in the same tournament.  Sort of
stacks the deck in favor of that program, wouldn't you say???

And I am not "always repeating that sentence".  This is the first time in a
year or so that the name bionic came up.  once a year is hardly "always"...  but
since I wrote the code, I'll speak up whenever I feel like it...
