Ok, I agree with you.... but I was not really trying to "point the finger" to
ssdf list guys... I was just trying to make things clear .... BTW, if I am not
wrong, the in an old ssdf list, fritz (and maybe junior) appeared in the the top
of the list - but only these two programs were running in a better machine. I do
not call this fair too. So, if we want to make things better, we should just try
to talk about it....thatś my point. And sorry if I were too strong in my
words...
