Yes, I did, thanks.  With regard to one of Hyatt's statements, "The commercial
programs are using some form of forward pruning that they won't discuss", I have
seen hints of such in dicussions here.  But is it logical to assume that only
the commercials are using secret techniques?  There are several strong amateur
programs whose authors also do not discuss their techniques.

The commercials don't have a corner on secrecy, nor should they.
