And the one's who are elected--save their statements for posterity. I'm dissappointed in the below thread. Not so much by the behavior of the people involved because it's easy to get fired up on a forum like this where you don't really know who you are talking to and can't exactly read their intent from the words. I'm disappointed that the moderators have not erased this post immediately upon seeing it !! "It was felt that a group where a full range of computer chess ideas could be discussed, and, if necessary attacked, without also making personal attacks on the deliverer of the ideas,......" Thats a quote from the charter. If the moderators don't think what's happening below are personal attacks then what are they ?? There should be no personal attacks tolerated here. If you would be a moderator then you must have the will to enforce the charter. Jim Walker
