Ratko, Are you becoming conservative? Some of your previous posts were downright accusatory and now you appear to be more moderate. Are you feeling ok? Actually, I'm just kidding you. But, I agree that critique can be a good thing since it gets ideas across. We just have to be careful when we cross the line between critique and unfounded accusations (i.e. a statement of "It's interesting that the top 4 programs are CB ones." as opposed to "CB contributed systems in order to have their programs tested on the faster machines.").
