Go up one level in this thread


Hi Steven:
I have read the post by the other candidates and I truly wonder what a heck I am
doing here. It seems that my thought about this matter is so opposed and
different to that of almost any other guy that I must conclude I am out of
place, completely wrong, an excentric kind of criature. I say this because I
cannot understand that a thread about anything connected with chess could be
targeted as deserving deletion or even to begin a discussion of such a thing.
I say more: anything discussed here, no matter the topic, it is for me on topic
provided there are answers to it and so people interested in it. And if there
are not, where the damage is?  I cannot understand this obsesion with purity
because the site has "computer-chess" name and no "computer chess". Even in the
most serious magazines of the world you can find room for gossip, cartoons,
jokes, etc. So what? If I want to discuss a jazz record with somebody here
because this is a computer-chess site and so I can get a different appraoch to
that than in a jazz site, what is the problem?
With this polity of content- cleansing waht we are going to get is more of the
same, saym, people going out and a deeper and deeper fall in just technical
stuff. Maybe some people here forget this is not a scientific publication, but
just a site. I would run out of here in a rush the day I only see post about
hash tables.
Fernando
