This is the only "argument" worth a response. All other stuff is off-topic
personal attacks. Tony Hedlund, perhaps you heard the name before, just hast
confirmed me that this tradition - right from the begining - is the most
important reason for SSDF. Presenting a new number one all two months. And the
truth is that sometimes this is simply impossible to do. And then they can't do
it. But as we can see they still do it. And this is against the Law of stats. To
give the most important law for a rating list.

If you now want to talk about the next Everest expedition, feel free, but don't
expect me to comment unless you pretend that due to less oxygen the Everest is
in reality only 7200 meters high. Then I will prove that that is a delusion. The
same with the number one Shredder.
