I try to limit the commercial accounts, especially those running top programs on
fast hardware, simply because my program has no chance at all.  Sometimes these
accounts will have relatively low ratings, which can indicate that the operator
isn't being consistent, and I don't really know what I'm playing against.

And accounts aren't free for programmers, we need to have a paid human account
to get the free comp account.
