By posting here, the conversation is made public -- everyone can read it, and everyone can join in. Whether 50 other people actually _do_ join in or not for any particular case is more or less irrelevant -- usually it doesn't happen, but occasionally it does. Go back a few months in the archives, and you'll see some truly massive threads re: Chessmaster 7000. Let's face it: there's not enough traffic to really justify fragmenting the board into such small pieces that "chessmaster" people have their own area, "winboard" people have their own area, "algorithms" people have their own area, etc. Maybe some filtering capabilities on subject lines would be nice, but hey, the web board is provided at no cost to me, so... <shrug> In my opinion, a much better candidate for "take this to e-mail" would be the case where two posters reply to each other ad nauseum about some non-or-only-indirectly-related-to-computer-chess issue mainly because they don't like each other. Fortunately, that hasn't happened in the last while. Dave
