Technical explanation: I browse the WEB with "lynx" which is a text
browser, only. In "lynx" I am unable to edit the messages properly,
if I include the previous posting.
Now some content: It was more my mistake and not Thorsten's that the
other games of round 9, which were finished already, were not given
through. When I realized that the talk was already 15 minutes long
I said "Thorsten, we have to stop quickly. It is Steve Schwartz's
money. Give me the other results at the end of the round." Then we
finished immediately, and I started to type in.
Thorstens commentary on "fast vs slow" programs was not based on
full results of round 9, but on his impression during round 9.
