No, THIS SHOULD NOT BE LIKE THAT. I think that your message about the relationship between capitalism and the behavior of Chessbase was on-topic (bordeline, but on-topic). I might even understand that you feel the need to post something off topic once in a while. However, you do not have the right to post anything that is off topic and happily say "if you don't like it, don't read it". That is plain lack of respect. The group has already a very high traffic and is difficult to keep up, checking messages of individual interest. If on top of that, we flood it with dozens of off-topic messages it will be certainly impossible to follow. Your first message was on topic, but all this is growing to an off-topic thread. I looks like it is an epidemia in the last days. I said nothing because I did not want to contribute a message and increase the chaos but I am strongly against the idea of "if you do not like my off topic message do not read it", if that is what you meant in your message. I do not want to feed a new off-topic thread, so I won't reply unless is strictly necessary or on-topic. I already said what I think, I do not need more messages. Regards, Miguel
