Robert Dewar is apparently so afraid of seeing certain inputs that he has blocked mail from me. This immediately after misreading a note from me pointing out that he had taken Ole-Hjalmar Kristensen's measurements as valid because they showed what he wanted them to show (even though important code in an inner loop may have been optimized out) as instead claiming that *he*, Dewar, had taken the measurements, and thereupon interpreting me as being unable to follow a newsgroup thread. Of course, I made no such mistake as thinking that Dewar had taken the measurement. --
