Yes, and my apology for the confusion.  I am going to make it very clear in
EvilSilicon's finger notes that it is a common "testing ground" for engines...

Shredder is used for blitz and standard, and lightning is played with the Evil
engine (which is not just my effort, but also Joseph Gardner and another
gentleman that just wishes to be called "Gezerk.")

Xeref is a project not related to my immediate group.  Because it is of the same
strength of the Shredder that runs on the 800mhz (and probably a bit stronger
since Xeref runs on dual PIII-600s) - it shouldn't make a huge (if any) ratings
deviation in blitz.  Xeref plays online at FICS very rarely, and usually only
when something specifically needs to be tested.

Perhaps any further messages about this should be directed to me via email, as
it might not interest CCC readers as a whole.
