I answered yesterday, but I don't see it today. so, again, my answer is a 1. This is due to my not wanting to bring any agenda to the job of moderator. I posted a possible outline of how a moderator could work on CCC in another post "Moderation in moderation", but since there was no comment on the idea, I do not know how others feel about this. So since the key word is tolerance, my answer is 1. If I received complaints about the off topics, and the CCC community indicated that it was happening too often, I would respect that and go along with the consensus, however, as it is a Computer Chess board. My personal feeling is that sometimes drifting into an off-topic is good. Always being off-topic is not. Perhaps if the subject drifts into an off-topic, the polite thing to do for the others is to change the subject to the off-topic, so people will know if they want to read it or not. Even if the subject stays on topic, but is no longer valid for the current discussion, this would also be a good time to change the title: Deep Blue part III becomes Diep Blues, for example. ;-) Perhaps this business of off-topics is better put to a vote, than left to the discretion of the moderators, since they should serve the desires of the community. kp
