FWIW ...

RDSS2 Beta 2 includes most of the initial NewPace Update's improvements (real soon folks, I promise

), so no one is using those in RDSS software yet (though I'm sure many make the manual observations or use Dave's update spreadsheets).

There are about 100 RDSS2 testers, 65 registered NewPace users, most of whom (not all) are using it in RDSS2. A few folks here have either torn NP apart and use it in their own alternate ways (e.g. DorianMode, rmath, gl45) or use it straight-up and report their out of the box results (e.g. MikeSal). Many more than these have reported to me privately that they either use it straight-up or as one of a set of non-corelated factors to get a consensus, or do other bizarre things with it. I would hazard a guess that virtually no one is consistently profiting from an out-of-the box usage. Though, most seem not too troubled by that, since RDSS does so well without NP.

But I would also guess that the vast majority would NOT want me to remove NewPace from RDSS2, so of course I won't. In the march of ideas, a hundred enquiring minds trumps a few squeaky wheels, and often unexpected improvements come from left-field.

If it's not working for you, set it aside. If you're intrigued by others' tinkering with it, you tinker with it too. Consider NP an interesting idea, if only even some of the time and perhaps even only for non-contender identification, etc.

I look forward to Dave's improvements (if they don't require HSH to implement effectively), as well as improvements from others.

cheers,

Ted
