Go up one level in this thread


Well here's the rub; Being that this is a site for Computer Chess related
posting, there is certainly nothing wrong about an unlimited number of post on
topic.  That there are a lot of post (on topic, and with out evil intent:),
indicates that this is a healthy place.  Most of (probably 98%), the post about
CM6000, have CM6000 in the Subject header.  So killing them is just a matter of
not reading them!  If only there was a way to know before you read them, that
they were or were not worth reading?  Well, I think that applies to a lot of
what you read in any newsgroup.  After a while, I think we all develope a sence
of what threads (& author's of), we are going to read, (or not read).

As far as other types of material, I can tell you that I would love to see more
about all sorts of chess topics, but then again, this would no longer be the
'Computer Chess Club', if that occurred.

A question for Steve might be, Is it possible that ICD will ultimately branch
out and have other types of online chess clubs here too?  A club for discussion
about playing other human's online for example, or about what are the finast
chess sets available, & where to get them.

Some post would overlap, other's would not.  For example, no one is likely to
post something like; 'The World Open is the best chess tournemt', or
'Gambit-Soft is the best place online to buy because of free shipping & the
strenght of exchange of the US dollar', because it doesn't pricisely fit the
charter of the Computer Chess Club.  BTW, I am not trying to say anything
criticle of ICD, I think they are a superb retail establishment as well.
