When I set up the list, I decided upon a couple of restrictions for accounts.
One (as noted in the GL post) says that accounts that restrict computer play
(too severely) are not eligible.

Secret isn't included because of the !computer, and also because this account
tends to change programs.  Dual machines are ok.

Playing against JT regularly, I notice it gets 8 ply in most situations.  Sweeny
has said that it will very infrequently limit itself to 6 ply, but indicates
that this seems like a bug, and it doesn't do well when that happens.

Function is described in the post.  I will do STD list in the future (one thing
at a time).
