Interesting points you raise. I am aware that I'm capable of making 'changing
ideas' posts on computer chess, but haven't done so for some time. I could
argue, arrogantly, that computer chess is still catching up on my 'changing
ideas' posts from two or three years ago, but still hasn't got there yet.

You are right when you say this could be a very good forum. But, at the moment,
and for some time, it has suffered from structural and personality problems
which prevent it from so being. At this poing a great cry goes up from the
residents who claim it is just fine, but they forget those who left, who raise
now no voice. They also forget the people who could be posting at a much higher
level, but who don't and just stick to the easy stuff.

This board really does not work in the way it was designed to do, could do, or
even as well as rgcc in 1995-97. It really is a pale imitation of what it could
be.

Surpisingly enough, I do have motivation and ideas for improving the forum.
