Hi Uri,

Charles Smith was one of the testers being asked to participate in the new
group. He wrote to me if this would be okay for me, when he also tests there,
because AEGT was just over. I told him that this is alone his decision and that
he should do what he likes most.

In all the many emails exchanged between him and me since that time I never
mentioned anthing negative about this. Charles continues to play a lot of games
for CEGT also.

But...I would have liked that the new group would have been founded with the
split memebers and new ones. Instead they asked a former CEGT member who
rejected and another active one whom we lost completely for both groups by this.
When you bear in mind how difficult it is to find new testers (see end of AEGT),
you will understand that I am sad especially about this behaviour and for
reasons of fairness would never do the same.

Best Regards
Heinz
