From their web site, to email sent to almost all of us multiple times, now to posts here. It is past time to put up or shut up about this. But continuing the "trial by innuendo" is wrong. Either offer evidence, or shut up about it. But continuing that little snipe "secret cheating autoplayer" is *not* welcome, IMHO... Unless they offer evidence to support this... And after 6 months of such whining, I've seen *zero* so far. In fact, there is ample evidence (from Ed and Moritz I believe) that this is totally false.
