Uhm, Spike, there is a distinction between private mail and things meant for a public forum like this mailing list. If I send you something in private, I don't expect the reply to end up in public.

Anyway, the next TOP500 list will be announced during the conference mentioned above. That's probably the connection. There's a list from November, and Uni Mannheim has no entry. I know that they have some kind of fat many-CPU parallel machine, but apparently it doesn't rate mention among the world's top 500 anymore.

I didn't coin that. The terms bogosity field, bogon, bogometer, etc are well established, see the Jargon file <URL:http://www.tuxedo.org/jargon>.
