My read on Ed Schroder's stance doesn't fit "childish attacks" but
rather just valid, well phrased objections being voiced.

I have always eagerly awaited the list from SSDF like many others
and do enjoy it. I hope they continue.

One could just as well argue that the Fritz 5 demand of the P200
or nothing is causing the demise of SSDF. For example if all programs
made the same demand of nothing slower than a P200 , how many
testers would that leave? Not many people have the funds for two such
machines.
