Hello,
	I agree that GA has shown its power in several aspects, but a problem
still puzzle me is 'what is the "actual" working mechansim of GA ?'.
	Since it's very important for a user (GA user) to determine when GA
would perform well ?
	What I found out is there is still no solid theory to characterise
the problem feature affecting the performance of GA.

	Just a few opinion.

	Regards,
