Very decent to accept such a deal. We do talk about comersial programs all the time. Is Vas so different from the others? (Maybee I can agree that the tread that was removed was over the limit, but in my view the issue in itself was interesting.) In my view the posts about Rybka are there because it simply is the strongest program at the moment. Remember how many messages there was about Fruit or Shredder when they was the strongest programs? Or perhaps CCC should we ban all messages mentioning commercial programs? Torstein
