Hi, >The problem is one of who gets to decide which topics are on read/not read, >interesting/uninteresting, personal/public, etc. You? No - I think people should have the common sense to have what is essentially a private conversation somewhere else. I never at any point suggested preventing these posts, or someone moderating them. I simply think that at some point, people should hold a 2 or 3 way conversation that nobody else ever joins in e-mails or somewhere else. If it happens occasionally - say you post something and only one person responds, and the two of you get responding to each other, and nobody else joins in, no big deal - but when it happens every day, and a fair number of times per day, and still nobody else joins in, it gets rather annoying. >As long as something is on topic, I see no reason it cannot be posted here on >CCC. Personally, I could care less about comp/comp tournaments and NPS on given >hardware per program. But what does interest me is technical discussions and >positions that programs have problems with. > >But, I wouldn't dream of stopping someone from posting NPS if they wanted to. You wouldn't dream of stopping it if suddenly every poster on the CCC conducted absolutely all of their computer chess related e-mails on CCC instead of via e-mail? Come on! Some degree of common sense must be used here, and I don't think that the people posting about CM personalities are doing that. There are some other types of threads I don't like too much here, but I don't have any issues with them. The biggest difference here is that the CM personality posts are without fail only posted on by a select group of maybe 4 or 5 people, while the other types of threads I don't like get general conversation from a lot of different people at various times. Gee - why do we use e-mail at all? Maybe we should all just post all of our communications on message boards - "Oh, it's on topic!". Regards, Adrien.
