This is a very good question that I addressed in my philosophy.

And I quote from it:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the subject of off topic posts. Over the years I have seen and been involved
in some terrific off topic posts on the CCC. While the thread might not have the
specific target of computer chess, the content can be quite informative. Posts
relating to religion, politics, sports, or what color underwear you have on can
be posted in the CTF forum where pretty much anything is allowed.

Off topic posts about chess in general, the hardware used, and even technical
problems are fine with me as long as the thread does not consume three pages of
posts. There are many people with varying degrees of technical backgrounds and
expertise on the CCC, but the CCC should not be used as your primary source of
technical support.

I hope that clarifies my position on this subject.
