It would be terrible if CCC would go the way of rgcc. >Charley Will Singleton (one of the moderators) posted that a thread had been deleted. Ulrich Tuerke followed that message up with a post, and from that I guess some harsh words were said between Harald Faber (another of the moderators) and Bob Hyatt. I am not sure if the "decision" Bob refers to is the deletion of the thread or some comment made in the thread. The computer chess community is not so large, so it is (usually!) regrettable when people leave, either of their own volition, or they are forced to. For instance, Thorsten Czub had many interesting things to say, even though I absolutely detested some of his posts! I think that most people here understand how much the participation of people like Bob and Ed mean to our group, so there's no need for me to go on about it. Finally, I would like to reaffirm my support for a moderated forum. We may still lose people from CCC from time to time, but my experience is that we lose more contributors when there's a lack of moderation than from it being present. Dave
