You'll have to ask him. I think (I know) he just thinks it has become silly and
boring.

I visited him in Berlin a few weeks ago; and 'visited' CCC from his PC. He uses
Explorer, so the read messages appear in purple, and the unread in blue.

There were two purple read messages out of maybe the usual fifty or sixty
current. I clicked on 'next group of messages' - there were no read messages. I
was surprised (since I was assuming he still read), and asked him - he said
there was no point in reading anymore, it was too boring - so he did his
tournament and posted the results - that was it.

Tres drole.

But this was a guy who was manically absorbed in computer chess, and still is as
regards testing programs.

His read-policy surprised me. Just thought I'ld share it with you.
