The term "Schwartz Sequential Dropping" (SSD) was used
for the very first time on 18 February 2000 in a mail by
Mike Ossipoff. Already in that mail, Mike Ossipoff wrote
that "SSD is equivalent to Schulze's method". Therefore,
the fact, that the term "Schwartz Sequential Dropping" (SSD)
is only a new name for the Schulze method, isn't something
new, it was known from the very beginning.
