Gentlemen,

Please understand that you both are regarded, at least by me, as two of the most
genuine and sincere posters and testing groups on this site.  Messages read here
are easily taken out of context without a meeting in person.  I am completely
neutral on the issue and do not wish to take sides with anyone.

Disagreements and misunderstandings happen among the best of friends.

I personally don't mind seeing small tests posted on this site.  Not everyone is
a good professional engine tester and many here are amateurs trying their hand
with a small informal test of their own.  Many are proud they even accomplished
it.  Everyone started that way and you have to walk before you can run.

I also find it invaluable to see the same engines played and tested on different
hardware.  Not everyone can afford dual or hot single machines or multiple
computers and have to live with what hardware they own and have.

Whoever feels offended or challenged please step back and assure yourselves
these discussions would not deteriorate with a gentelmanly or ladylike personal
face to face adult discussion.  From simply reading all your quality posts over
the years I know that for a fact!  DHM
