Well, initially I wasn't going to respond to this as it's a somewhat ridiculous
post, but even lack of insight shouldn't go unmentioned.

1) I don't care about how much time you use doing your tests and how much time
you use on checking the games. The important thing is that you do check the
games. So no similarity.

2) The test (although interesting) was too flawed and arbitrary to make any
useful conclusions about strength, which I (and others) have argued more than
once. This is the _real_ problem, and not time consumption.

3) Regarding the special games I requested. I assumed that "anyone" meant
anyone, but that doesn't seem to be true (Hint: Sending them to Tony won't
help). I won't lose sleep over it.

4) If you can't stand critiscism, then don't speculate on the importance of the
games you post.

5) If someone disagrees with your viewpoints, then it's unwise to call them
argumentative and non-constructive. Using facts are much better, but I guess you
didn't have any.

6) It's Mogens' not Mogen's, but I can live with that. Moq is also okay.

This more or less sums it up. I don't think there's anything left to be said
about this issue, not from me anyway.

I agree. I believe that the truthfulness of identity is very important.

Same thing applies for me.
