From the text of your latest email, it appears you are not backing off of this claim, unless I am incorrect. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If there is indeed a problem (which there may be), it would be better for all involved if you were to be more specific about what the problems were, and provide some evidence so we would know exactly where to look for a problem. In that case, the FLASH community could do something about providing a fix, which I know it would be very happy to do. Otherwise, you are just spreading around completely unsubstantiated information, which is not fair to either the authors of the code or those who want to make sure their scientific results are accurate. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">John</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 22, 2015, at 12:14 PM, Guido granda muñoz <<a href="mailto:guidogranda@gmail.com" class="">guidogranda@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div class="">Dear All,<br class=""></div>I just wanted to apologize if somebody got pissed off about my comment on the N-body solver, anyway it is good to know that somebody is working on that and is willing to share their work.<br class=""><br class=""></div>Kind Regards,<br class=""></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote">2015-09-22 5:32 GMT-03:00 K.

<br class="">
let me to express my sincere thanks here to all developers here for the<br class="">
release of the FLASH code. Their great effort resulted in a number of<br class="">
papers we have written on the basis of the results which are obtained by<br class="">
this code. A particular thanks are due to Dongwook Lee who has given us<br class="">
a tremendous hand in that.<br class="">
<br class="">
Happy Flashing,<br class="">
