Hmmm... maybe 1-2 were marginal, but in general the comments I've seen have been
constructive. Objective feedback shouldn't be confused with criticism. There's
the option to post general comments and test results here on CCC rather than
loading Vas's mailbox with them, because he reads this board and is responsive &
helpful. That's fine (hopefully), as far as I'm concerned, because I do it too.

All things come and go in cycles.

The Rybka phenomenon may have a long time yet to run with its up cycle, but who
can predict? It surprises me greatly. I had just purchased Fruit 2.2.1 and
expected it might dominate for a year or more, but then along came Rybka out of
the blue. If there's one thing for sure, there will be changes made... :)
