Then there's nothing to keep people from sending him questions via e-mail. >Tell me. No one in this forum ever asked you regarding TSCP programing codes ? >or chess programing question "specially" to you?? No, I don't think they have. I think people only ask me questions via e-mail, and some via ICQ, which I consider entirely appropriate. >I wonder how would you put that then? If someone posted, "Tom, what are search extensions?" then I wouldn't like it just as much as if they posted, "Hyatt, what are search extensions?" This has nothing to do with favoritism. >I have seenyou contributing to threads like "cpu" which has nothing to do with >computer chess in general. is duran better than AMD? or intel? ......thus that >has anything to do with chess.........at all!! I'm sure that if you think for a little, you can make the connection between _computers_ and _computer_ chess. >I think we are missing the main point here...... >Do you think (as a moderator) that the CM book thread shold be continued? >I dont think so .......but this is my Opinion. If people start sending the moderators complaints via e-mail, I will seriously consider doing something about the threads. But so far that hasn't happened, and it seems like relatively few people are complaining about the threads anyway. So I don't see it as a problem right now. If you want the CM book stuff to end, please send some moderator e-mail. -Tom
