They've never asked me. I don't have an autoplayer version, secret or public, other than the ICC version, which plays its games in public. I would have a lot of worries about getting on the Swedish list. You've had some problems with testers not using configurations you've specified. I would be worried about this and about the use of sub-optimal hardware, and about getting a wide variety of games versus a wide variety of opponents. I don't know much about how they do their testing, but allowing anyone else to have some say about my reputation would worry me, obviously. There's so much incentive to be high on the list that I would worry about my competitors doing strange things to skew the results. I don't know whether Ossi has a real complaint or whether he's just being paranoid, but the fear that something weird will happen to you has got to be quite real. bruce
