sure and completely agreed on. I learned much from Bob Hyatt's posts !

but it requires _way_ more effort in filtering ;-)

Who wants to read _another_ thread about a human-computer match in 1987 (!!! ) ?

Also "Been there , done that !" will not _always_ be the thing you want to read
;-)

And the kind of most useless threads is two programmers fighting some useless
fights when you always will think : " Hey , if you had put all that time in your
program yours would have become completely unbeatable up to now ..." :-)

I still wonder why in computerchess programmers keep fighting each other that
much ; if you compair with Linux , Unix or Perl newsgroups where I am competent
enough to follow it is a most remarkable difference

Hint : something like the "years behind" thread ...

What about all the Hardware or not Hardware threats ??

There was a recent post by PeterMcKenzie that was quite convincing ;-)

But calling for filter functions will always sound like censorship ...

Will I be moderated for this one ? If yes , it is ok by me :-) !
