Well, I hope I am not conmsidered inside the group of bean counters as
much as I have been praising CSTAl from the beginning like that guy in
the desert before Christ arrived. Nevertheless, I think Enrique have a
great point: a CSTAL with a more conservative mood AFTER the wild one
that gives the advantage could give a tremendous boost. I know Chris
worked many years in t his and the reslt is very good, BUT it seems that
is not enough and something more effort is required. I wonder if the old
Machak approach- two engines, one counting the beans, the other makins
strategic judgements- could do the job.
My greetings to chris. And for you, of course.
Fernando
