Well some of the reasons authors are requiring an operator is simply hardware.

One author emailed me for help becase the fastest machine he can get his hands
on will be a PIII 667 with 256mb ram. You and I both no that will simply get
crushed on hardware alone.

As it is right now there are only 3 operators of those entered. And currently
there are 25 participating.
