[CollEc] Website fail

  I offered to go back to the original site since your site does not
  work at this time. What I suggested was for you to write the path
  files, since my perl is very slow. It implies havig a system command
  that writes the binary paths in the places that I indicated, a
  system command to do a simple path file. It is not about calculating
  all the values. They are agregated from the path files. This is the
  old design.  It is very different from yours.

  It's not in the individual files, and it is not updatable
  on a per person per file basis. This is a very different
  approach. My approach never meant to calculate the correct
  result. Instead, it calculated an approximation that would
  approach the correct result if the network does not change.
  You want to take snapshots and then calculate the correct
  result for it. You would take them, say every week or
  so. This is an aproach that is completely different to
  mine where such discreet periods don't exist.

  I am sorry. I surely did not mean to insult you and I don't think
  I did.

  I was simply supposing you would have taken the algorithm from somewhere,
  that's all. It is what I did.

  I am not saying that my design is superior to yours. It is just that
  if I want to pick up things from the old design, I need the things
  in the old state.

  I said I need individual path files. This makes no sense to
  you, but it is the old design. I'm all in favour of doing
  something different, and in the view of the modern viewer,
  better. But it needs to actually run.

  You are the person who runs CollEc. I don't do it anymore. I was
  proposing to help with a stop-gap measure.

  I hope you will reconsider. As I ought to have mentioned before,
  this would be better discussed on the phone.
