Please supply info, re: where you get this reference and what the use of the word "considerably" means in terms of rating points? >Therefore, it would make sense to infer from all this, that Shredder is not much >stronger if at all, than its predescessor (even though against its predescessor >it got 68%, but it is obvious it would do well against that). >Actually, talking of offending people in this forum (and CTF), I would wonder if >posts like this are considered offensive.
