What is first? Chicken or egg? If you - and other guys- do not go and write because lack of feedback, then, obviously, no feedback appears and you are right: catch 22. Moreland: he is not going to delete or ban nobody there. In the first place, he understand very well the new forum is an altogether different ball game. Second, he has not absolute powers. Third, he probably not even go there. He is not interested. It is not his stuff. And if he goes, he will not measure with the same yardstick. He cannot. He is not moderator there. Thorsten living CCC cannot be used for measuring CTF, where he not even came. BTW, today, in my radio program, I talked about your review of AI. I mentioned you as the father of it, of course. They, my companions in the show, said: "who is that Chris Wittington you named?" So I gave them some data to make it clear: the author of CSTAL. So they asked what a heck is that. Then I said: a strong chess program. "A chess program?" "Well", I said, "you know, you can create a program capable of playing chess". "How they do that?" they asked, but then I steered the talk to comment Kubrik movies. Al least they know he was a film maker. From Kubrik we talked about science-fiction and the common factor that seems to be part of the syche of every lover of that kind of stuff: some degree of escapism, detachment, etc. Have you realized that there are not interesting human beings in not even one novel of the kind? Curious, a computer -HAL- appears as a lot more interesting personality. When we reached that, they said: "Hey, HAL played a game of chess... how is that...?" Afortunately the show ended there.
