In the original thread I wrote a reply to Bruce: one of the statements I made was "you were right that it was overdue". In an attempt to soften my post somewhat, I had omitted how long overdue I thought it was. I think that this (CCC) is the place where most serious computer chess "newsgroup-style" discussion occurs. Sure, maybe not every thread is the worthy topic of an academic paper, but surprisingly many are :), and in terms of signal-to-noise, it's one heck of a lot better than r.g.c.c. was when I was actively participating there. (I no longer do, things may have changed, but I don't even bother to check, because many people with valuable input participate here.) To move on to the point, we have a community of people interested in computer chess, even including several of the commercial software developers (either on a participating or a lurker basis). Who, as a group of people, would it satisfy Thorsten to interact with more? It is for this reason that I hope he will return, without the baggage that makes people want to skip over reading many of his posts. Dave Gomboc
