How do you know it's a private conversation between so few, do you have statistics for these messages that we don't see?, no. exactly. Just because there are a few posters in a thread don't mean that others are not both reading those posts and playing over the games. >I never at any point suggested preventing >these posts, or someone moderating them.

That's your view which you are entitled to, however since it isn't mine I will continue to post "gobs" of games. >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.

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. The amount of posts generated by the CM personalities is roughly equal to the ones here on the original thread posted by you. And I see less "common sense" in this thread than those. >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. Since I must be one of the 4 or 5, I see no real difference between the CM threads and others. Most threads generate no more than 4 or 5 people contributing to them. If they interest me I read them and if not I simply ignore them....it's very easy. >Gee - why do we use e-mail at all?

Email? why bother when the subject of this message board is the Computer Chess Club and these are computer chess games. Thanks. > >Regards, >Adrien.
