You have your facts completely wrong Thorsten.

Let me summarize....

#1. There were 3 people who had the F5 autoplayer (F5A) and they
sometimes passed information about the thing here in CCC.

#2. One of them said: "F5A does not save opponent games".

#3. I then reacted:

a) This is horrible, it might influence the learner of opponents programs.
I was talking about ALL programs.

b) I also said: I can't proof if this is the case for my OWN creation Rebel
because the F5A is not public.

c) I also said: I have looked at the Rebel code and it is unlikely there is
harm done to Rebel's learner but I can't exclude the possibility. After all
the F5A is hidden from me and it is against the auto232 protocol not to
save the game. The game should be there but the Rebel driver is
overruled by the F5A driver and this is unacceptable.

What I wrote was a complaint against "hidden" autoplayers and all the
possible negative side effects because of that.

Until this day I am not able to say if harm is done or not.

I NEVER said the F5A prevents Rebel from learning. I have no proof of
that and I don't think it's fair of you to translate a "possibility"
into a "fact" and make it a main item here.

You have argued against the F5A. It wasn't available. Now you argue
against the J5A. It *IS* available. You now have the possibility to PROOF
your theory with examples. Sofar I have seen NONE. Only the same
accusations PRESENTED as proof but no real evidence.

Why don't you just stop with your accusations, find the evidence
first and THEN report here.

You are allowed to quote my public sayings but not to change them
to your own convenience. You will not be able to find a statement of
me where I said: "The F5A prevents Rebel from learning" because
I never said that.

PS, about AUTO232....

AUTO232 is a fragile piece of software. As a result of that (and
you must know that very well) programs tend to crash all the time.
Through the years I have seen dozen and dozen examples all
programs crash in good positions and bad positions. There is
no pattern. It's completely random.

Meaning to say, to proof your theory you have to come up with
some very convincing examples.

PS2, I posted this as a new chapter so on top on CCC because I
have seen you have spread your untrue sayings about me all over
CCC.
