I've only left the USA once, and only for about a day, so to be honest, that's something that it's imposible for me to relate to. I very seldom leave my little Polish little quarry town anymore. But here in the USA, a large percentage of the people and polititions think that a way to protect you, is to take away your rights and restrict your freedom, they're very wrong. On the other hand, myself, I don't think people have any right to build factories near my river or tamper with the flood plains, or build new highways that go though my forests. Is that the same, or different than CCC essentially(?), I don't know. >Well, not that there is a dictatorship in CCC, but surely it >could seems to be IF people that does not like something are invited to go.

Several of us frequent R.G.C.C. I'm there, so are Jeroen, Steve Lopez, Robert Hyatt, Dann Corbit, Bruce Moreland, Michel Chassey, I've even seen Frank Quisinsky post there. I've told people posting there with real serious Chess programming questions that they should join CCC because this is a better place to ask programming questions. I ignore the vast majority of posts here, and I am somewhat selective about who's posts I do read, obviouslly I read many of yours, not all of them though because many of the topics here don't interest me at all. So it's easy for me to ignore the trouble makers. As for the moderators, their existance does force people to try to behave, so if people try to remain civil, that's good. But, moderators, that's just the nature of the CCC beast. Pete
