Gimme a break!  I looked throught the origional post, and the only
thing I could find about how sophisticated it was was in the above
excerpt.  Usually I try not to be too pessimistic, but somthings I
find are just hard to swallow.  You say that you have the most
most sophisticated network in the world, but then disclose nothing
more about it, other than saying (Well, I've paraphrased): 
  "Yep it's sophisticated all right.  Very sophisticated.  Lots of 
  complex code.  Yup.  One helluva system."


I'm sorry, but from my point of view you might as well said:

"I have something big and blue.  It really cool.  It's the neatest
thing I've ever seen.  If you want to discuss it, post here."


I realize that if you did make a big breakthrough you may just be
trying to keep your ideas from being taken away from you, but on the
other hand try to see it from my point of view.  When I first read
your post, I had thought that someone left their terminal logged in,
but the subsequent posts makes me think that you really do exist, but
I'm having trouble thinking that your sophisticated network does.
