Fair enough.
Though I do agree with MANY others.
It was your "YOUR" (3 messages back) that put me in short-cut mode.
Especially since SSDF would like to add TK323 or CM9000 to the list.

If I WERE a wise man I would say you're a [BLEEP] [BLEEP] !!
But I'm not. :-)

That was 1998, and they still haven't changed the name to SAF list.

That's a rather dangerous statement!

But as long as we're talking computer chess you're right.
The testers are doing a great job.
The programmers are doing a great job.
And no one is going to tell either of them what to do.
