I didn't think anything in the world about you having cheated, and I thought it looked to me like the numbers of the games had some logic to it which must have been pre-ordained. Byr sometimes I don't understand why testers suddenly stop at a certain number, but would probably find that if I were following their posts, they probably HAD said beforehand how many games it would be. I was simply trying to eliminate certain scenarios mathematically, but nothing in the world to do with what I thought of you, which is very highly. I appologise for any misunderstood interpretations, and I realize I should have been more sensitive about possible implications. If you would have said "obviously I would never do such a thing", that would have been more than enough, as it was only an abstract thought I had, Certainly I wasn't suspecting "cheating". If you want to know what I like the most, that is, that ANY program, whichever it is, should get such a result (of never falling even 50%), and it was my eagerness to know about this which made me want to be even more sure. My other question is if it is the only one of those programs which do (almost) so well, when tested like that. Also, if it could be seen what causes the good results. Your testings are a wonderful thing for all of us, and certainly for me, and I'm ever greateful to you for it. Didn't you realize this, when I keep asking questions or commenting? Great thanks!
