I have an SMP program that has competed publicly and finished 2nd in the last
open hardware world championship, and they haven't even acknowledged my
existence as an author of something even vaguely worthy to play in this.  So
you've been treated better than I have.  They knew all about me and chose to
treat me as if I do not exist.

It's water under the bridge though.  They've insulted more or less everyone with
this selection process, it seems clear that they are set on doing it how they
want to do it, they got the result they wanted, and nothing is going to change.

The biggest insult is to Stefan, who can't get any respect no matter how many
times he wins the WMCCC and WCCC.
