Talk is cheap.  You have been reporting on how much smaller your tables are, how
much faster you can generate them, how much better you compress them, how much
less memory your generator requires, since Bruce started generating tables when
everyone had started to use the Edwards tables.  You have yet to show anybody
anything _real_.  I doubt you ever will.  Of course, you will probably continue
to talk about them for the next 10 years...

Meanwhile using Eugene's tables which _do_ exist...

Yes, such as you would likely be unable to complete one of my courses, since I
don't give high marks for vaporware, handwaving, and other such similar
nonsense...

Of course that didn't stop you from asking hundreds of email questions when you
started to think about parallel search.  Your credibility continues to
plummet...
