This is one of those cases where I have nothing significant to add.  I have
not been contacted by the ICGA.  I have not seen any List source code.  I
have not seen any games List played.  I have not (to my knowledge) played List
on ICC.  I have no idea what the basis is for the claim, nor who made the
claim, nor why they made it, nor why the ICGA took it so seriously.  We just
don't have any real data.


In short, I live in an "information vacuum".  With no data, anything I say
would be based on nothing more than wild guesses...
