You know, I've never really understood why these messages were allowed on the
CCC.  From what I can see, there are 4 or 5 interested people, and NOBODY else
ever comments on it.  Personally I couldn't care less about the 20 rating points
they manage to squeeze out of the personalities (if in fact they aren't just
perfecting it for play against CM and making it actually weaker overall) and the
gobs of games they use to justify which of their "creations" is better.  I'm
sure that a lot of other people feel the same way.

Why aren't these discussions moved to another forum, or maybe e-mail?  If it's
only a few people posting/reading them, I don't see why the people involved
don't just e-mail each other..


Regards,
Adrien.
