Subject: Silent members, Votes and all that..

Hi steve again:
As I said before, I am against the idea to give silent members of CCC
any kind of power to determinate directly or throught other ways the
shape of this site. My argument was and is that the real member is, by
definition, in this kind of chat site, the guy who chat and nobody else.
Nevertheless, that does not means I am against to know what they think.
I myself I am partly one of those silent member as much as my
contributions are scarce and not specially important, so I am not
talking from a proud tower. I just believe that anyone must know what he
can give and how much he is or not important in the different areas of
behaviour we meet each day. I would be ashamed to be given a share of
power in the life of, let us say, a club of rocket cientist just because
I am there looking at it and "democracy" is a sacred word. I am afraid
that on the long run the numerical weight of opinion or desires of just
passing people ends by giving thoughts to the people -you, steve- that
finally handle this site. CCC is becoming clearly a somewhat techie
oriented place and so must be as much as programmers engage in it and
for us, no programmers, the benefit is to learn something new and even
do a question here and there, BUT NOT to have a hold on this jus
becauses wer are a far greater lot of people. Maybe many readers will
ask more simpler explanations about chess programming or even to be
explained the ABC of all this and for what purpose? I am here precisely
to learn what I cannot do in RGCC or else. Abd I want that to be kept.
Fernando
