Hi, >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. I'm not saying that the posts should be deleted. I'm not saying that they are off-topic. I'm simply saying that if the posts on a particular topic are consistently just among a few select people and no-one else seems to be interested in them, that those people are filling up our screens for no good reason, and should take some initiative and move the discussion to another forum and/or e-mail. There are a lot of things related to computer chess that I discuss with people via e-mail rather than here, mostly because they are private discussions between me and a few other people. I could post them here, and they would be perfectly on topic, but do you think it would be appropriate? I don't think so. If everyone carried out all of their private computer chess discussions on the CCC instead of via e-mail, the CCC would get so inundated with messages, that nobody would be able to read the CCC anymore, and the CCC would most likely be unable to cope with the volume. Since everybody else uses some discression in this matter, why can't the CM personality posters do the same and set up an e-mail list of interested parties, and take the conversation there? Regards, Adrien.
