Rolf, you suprise me a little here.

Is it not more proper to say from a [ah,hem] scientific standpoint (if I may be
so bold), that the possibilities are as follows: (A) it is the work of a
prodigy, or (B) it is a hidden work long in the making by an eccentric,
reclusive programmer, or (C) it is a funded project by a commercial software
company currently in trials, or (D) it's a knock off by a faker who gets his joy
in life by reading all the hubbub about himself in forums like CCC.

I believe Dr. Hyatt's position is more scientifically correct if I may
paraphrase, "likely not legitimate, but not impossible".

Regards, :-)
