These posts are clearly on topic so they are allowed on CCC. We do not know the numbers of readers of these posts but the number of readers is irrelevant in this case to decide that the posts are on topic. > From what I can see, there are 4 or 5 interested people, and NOBODY else >ever comments on it. The fact that people do not comment does not prove that they do not read or are not interested. 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.

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.. I think that a read count can help people to decide if to post here or to to use e mail. If 2 posters discuss about a subject and see that nobody is interested except them they can decide to continue to discuss by email but it does not change the fact that there is no justification to delete their posts here if their posts are on topic even if nobody read them.
