Hi Harald: It seems you does not grasp my point, but you are not the only one as much I have seen a lot of times the argument that this or that stuff should be sended by email if it does not comply with chess computer parameters. The point is, dear Harald, that the fact that a message is public change all the thing. When you are chatting with as lot of people in a party or in any other place, you are not secretive; you talk loudly because you want to hear what other people could say about, you want to be surprised, to grasp another an unexpected views. If you limit to talk with the guy at your side, all that is lost. Precisely that long threads where poeple discuss stronmgly and that are esential part of the life of this site -even if some times all goes astray- occur because everyone knows his statement and the answer is actually or potentially public. So if a beer debate appears, why they, the first two guys, should hide in his emails addresses? Maybe something interesting and even related with chess surges from that. Harald, let things happens. The core of a groups is the liberty for things to happens. I cannot imagine a group so pedantically and narrowly concerned with just chess computers or any other field. Are we forgetting the intrinsic lack of importance of this? So if beer discussion use too many space, what a heck of such a great importance are we losing? A debate about Cm6000, if it is or not a toy? That Nimzo won three game in a row to Patzer? OK, I am interested in that stuff, that's the reason I am here, but i do not forget the position of all this in the general picture of life and so I still give extra importance to the relation at such beyond chess computers, beyond beers debate, beyond anything else. Cheers -with beer Fernando
