Hi Dann, you are correct, we have to be aware to receive constant critics and have to stand this without losing fun. There are always people having special interests and when they see their favourite engines perform well, they are enthusiastic and if not a lot of trouble for the testers often arises by their postings. There are others like Dr.Wael Deeb and Sandro Necchi, just accepting that the setting did not perform so well under CEGT conditions, as they have hoped and seen from his own results under other conditions and they just continue and work on a better one. This is the attitude I like. We know that we also have our fans, also many authors are amongst them and there are daily more, what encourages us to continue despite of all unnecessary obstacles. Best Regards Heinz
