While it will undoubtedly be clear to all sensible people that to refuse to buy
Rebel or Tiger would be a grotesque over-reaction to the situation, I have to
say that the thought of duplicity by Ed has crossed my mind as well.

What I would like (but will probably not get - ah well!) is a statement from Ed
clarifying his position vis-a-vis the following points:

* Now that Tiger tops the SSDF list, what is Ed's opinion of the list?

* If his opinion is now positive, why has he changed his mind?

* Will he now submit Century for testing by the SSDF?

For the record, my opinion of the SSDF is that, whatever its shortcomings, it's
the best show in town by a country mile - so I would be supportive of them.
