Don't rewrite your go program!

[David Fotland <fotland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems that rewriting a go program is a sure way to fall out of
the top group, perhaps forever.  Look at the programs that have
been rewritten:

Alan Scarf/Microgo - new program rumored, but never competed again
Bruce Wilcox/Nemesis - new program competed once, and finished poorly
Mark Boon/Goliath - new program never completed
Chen Zhixing/handtalk - new program weaker than old one
Ken Chen/Go Intellect - new program weaker than old one

It seems much better to continue improving what you have than
to start over, however much you want to.
