Hi Ray,

okay you are forcing me to answer because you distort my words.

1. as already mentioned testers not involved in a group should post their
results and I follow their tournaments, including often not only the top engines

2. CEGT and CCRL have gained too much power. By mass posting results from the
testers above will be suffocated additionally other postings not only containing
results drop down too quickly

3. I react to this by posting only combined reports or links with many
tournaments and updates from now on

4. It was not meant as censorship, but it is clear what CCRL testers will answer
here and your post was an excellent example how words can be distorted and
misinterpreted like it happened in the past

5. I would really appreciate to see neutral comments here, this is more
important than CCRL and CEGT comments

6. I did not show disrespect to anyone and I did not insult anyone,  but you are
insulting me by claiming this

7. Stop this obsession with CCRL or CEGT. It is one of the least important
things I can imagine

8. With your aggressiveness in posting and words I will discuss with other CEGT
testers if to resign finally

Best Regards
Heinz
