Like Fernando, I would also like to talk about non-chess subjects, on occasion,
with the people who post here.  That occurs regularly on the ICC, and it can be
interesting.

But this forum was set up for computer chess, so it cannot happen (I hope).
What I *would* like to see is for someone like Fernando to set up his own
message board, which could be reached via a link from CCC.  He could call it
"Fernando's Free-For-All", or "Chess & Jazz r Us", or perhaps "We Don't Need No
Stinking Algorithms."  :)  I'd join.

What about it, Fernando?
