You (or anyone) as a moderator cannot stop him/her to do so. Because there is "clearly" good number of people contributing to such topic. when someone says "Bob pls answer" then he expects others to contribute or critisize his point of view. but "mainly" he wants Bob to answer. atleast thats what I do :) > >>Tell me.

I think people only ask me questions via e-mail, >and some via ICQ, which I consider entirely appropriate. I thought they did, as I think TCSP is something to talk about too. so I see they ask you via e-mail. thats very good ;) > >>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 never said about "favoritism", I wanted to put you in the position of "BOB". but since noone asked you, then I think the question doesnt exist anymore ;) > >>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. thats your opinion. but after thinking "several nodes per second" I couldnt come up what duran's 1200mhz stability comparing with INtel processors "are more stable when it come to speed" with AMD and Duran are the same level as far as processors are concerned ...........has to do with computer chess at all. no really!! > >>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.

I didnt wanted to end the thread, I thought they would rather use e-mails when it some to lil things like "this book line has this problem the other had that.... and da da da". then when they are done with it they can just put a post stating that the book has been done and they can do dadadada or whatever. instead of posting updates of almost every single book. which book line has which problem and stuff like that. and I think the other "relatively few people (as you said)" meant the same more or less........ but that was my opinion. do I have to mail for that? thanks pavel > >-Tom
