Subject: Please Reconsider SSDF (was: CCL will stop after round-1

Go up one level in this thread


1. I am sorry to read this. I suspected this might happen.

2. Notwithstanding the past matters, I believe you should submit R10 to SSDF.
The position is non-ideal but on balance you have more to gain than you have to
lose.  Reasoning being: only being on the list with an older program will be a
-ve to those not familiar with the autotesting dilemma.  It will not be seen as
a -ve for those who are familiar with the issue (few hundreds) even if R10 on
the list does not reach #1.  Absence of Rebel benefits another, rather.  All
publicity is...

3. Of course I know that for many years Rebel is dedicated to maximising
strength vs humans.  But for the coming 12-18 months (the R10 period, say) I
predict humans may not prove such a big problem for Rebel... Now Yotam, Vadik...
;-)

Kind regards

PS: The "top" (not main) page of your website (under construction since August
12) has some interesting hyperlinks not yet enabled... Like exact timetable for
R10 DOS release... hint :-)
