Hello Chris!

I have tried very hard to get Shep to include CM6000 in his tournament. The only
way at this point he would put it in
is if CM6000 defeats MCP8 in his qualifier. I sincerely
believe he is wrong on this and should include CM6000 in
his tournament so we can evaluate how it does against the top programs.

CM6000 is rated quite high on the SSDF list - are they so far off the mark on
CM6000? Shep should put it in and let us find out what happens.
