"This thread has gotten a lot bigger, mainly because I didn't want to wipe out KD's criticism. But in retrospect, it would have been better to remove it and email him the message so KD could repost it as the start of a new thread. Anyway, if you have more to say regarding moderation, start another thread (if that hasn't already been done) and do it there. Further messages in this one will be deleted. Dave" Ok, here they go: 1) Why is an honest question considered criticism? I asked why general programming and computer configuration questions are off topic when the answers to those questions will be used to help with computer chess for a specific person on their own system(s). 2) Why stop a thread and say that you will delete further messages to it, but at the same time indicate that it's permissible to start another thread? Additional messages will take up the same space regardless of which thread they are in, won't they? I don't understand this idea of taboo threads. 3) When did it become out of fashion to be allowed to post a "Moderation" message? And when did it become necessary to start this "let's stop this thread" stuff after only a few posts are made? I don't want to necessarily beat a dead horse here, but I really don't get it Dave. I think you overreacted to the C++ programming book question when the author obviously wanted the opinion of top notch chess programmers. And then this idea of shutting down threads and starting them up elsewhere seems kind of strange as well. Just my opinion, but I really don't get it. KarinsDad :)
