Top programmers used to post alot on CCC, and they even spoke about their
upcoming plans for new releases. But now, hardly any of them are writing
anything anymore (Certainly not the top comercial programmers). Even not
Christophe Theron. He seems like he must be TERRIBLY depressed. No word, and no
program updates! His last few months he was always seeming angry, also. The
Shredder programmer too, even though he made a great program, he nevertheless
just can't answer or comment on a few repeated questions, like he's lost his
wind. Also, no patches of playing improvements, like there was with 7.04. Hiarcs
is also going very very slow ever since 7.32 came out.

I'm not asking to be taken seriously, everything I'm saying here. I'm just
expressing a bit of frustration in a Picasso/impressionistic way, a bit.
