Sorry for the inconvenience, SOF, but sometimes people just misread the information they get. Three people who bench together a lot submitting scores with almost identical setups makes certain people jump to conclusions and shout out the two words 'hardware' and 'sharing', hence why we asked and not assumed.
Problem is that either way causes people to respond as if it's some kind of deliberate try to snoop away points. In the past, I blocked scores for the reason "hardware sharing", turned out no sharing => mad people knocking on my door. If we raise questions regarding sharing, some people think we think they cheat => mad people knocking on the door as well .
That's why I love it when people just agree with the possibility of hardware sharing and just provide everything what's needed to clear their name, just like Joe and Stummer did. If you have nothing to hide, there's no reason not to give everything away .
Now ... since I've noticed Michael is tearing it up (again) ... let's all turn on the benchrigs ...
