I remember several complains on CCC about SSDF fairness (not necessarely my
opinion) like:
- Fritz use of more RAM (there was a poll [Fernando were are past polls now, it
seems I'm unable to access them?]),
- test of some programs on new hardware before than other (critics to latest
lists),
- or the "implicit" advantage of some misbehaving program concening its
autoplayer (neverending threads here).

And may be more, I don't pretend to remeber all of them.

Most of this were/are transients, still I think that some might not agree with
Yasser's view. Otherwise we would not have had polls on similar subjects.

Of course my comment was for "the insiders" of this area, which e.g. know this
site and the digressions we had, I did not want to express my personal critics
to SSDF. Sorry if I gave that impression.

regards
Franz
