This also referred to some remarks by you over the past days in a discussion
with Uri, etc..

So it was not a request to Ray alone, but a general request to all CCRL testers
to finally stop mentioning CEGT. It is okay when other people do it, they can of
course compare CEGT and CCRL and there will be fans for the one and for the
other and maybe even for both. But you are involved, like me, so just please
avoid certain ways of comments.
