I am also getting tired of answering posts like:

"I do not suspect a hardware error here, as especially in this match run by me
Fruit 2.2 got one of the best scores."

Note that hardware problem may also reduce the results of colombus egg so the
fact that fruit got a good score does not prove no hardware problem.

It is no personal attack against you and against the testers but I guess that I
am not going to post more comments because I do not want to post productive
comments if I get responses like that response.
