Your reply has been forwarded fully.

This is a false statement. A cheap shot, in fact. I will stack the code written by attendees of the recent CP meetings against your code, Eugene, any day. (No offense, Eugene, but I despise these "fashionable" cheap shots which miss the mark so...cheaply.)

I was basing my statement solely on basis of what has come across this list. Since you cited current and important work which has not been visible to list participants I fully retract my statement, and apologize for the cheap shot. (I would code if I could. Not everybody can be a good programmer, strangely enough).
