People make mistakes (I make mistakes and >you make mistakes, Gabi and Hans make mistakes) but it`s better to forget the >story. I had forgotten. But then someone posted a tournament result based on a program named "bionic". I see no reason to not mention what bionic was... any more than I see any valid reason to _ever_ include bionic, voyager, or le petite, in _any_ tournament of any kind... But if someone wants to include those 'clones', I plan on at least making the note that it is really crafty, which I don't like to see...
