while this is undoubtedly true for hobbiest researchers, there are
pretty good relationships between vendors and some research facilities
with a strong interst in ensuring there is external review of the
code base(es).
(I am personally aware of at least five such facilities...:)
hence I am going to have to echo Randys sentiments. This was just
