If for instance you or some other programmer develop these positions, you can be a cloner yourself. I'm not accusing you of anything, it's just a theoretical reasoning. Furthermore, if I was accused of that Terra or Alaric were clones, based of some secret positions, I would demand to see these positions and claim that someting is wrong. In that case it had to be! The bottom line is, it's really hard to keep positions secret. /Peter
