There are *several* "non-programmers" that feel exactly as I do, and they have posted their feelings about this topic on r.g.c.c several times. Forget this "it is the programmers against the end-users." The "end-users" that count know this isn't true. The ones that don't whine endlessly and try to make it appear to be relevant. It is *not* about programmers vs non-programmers, it is, instead, about "contributors" to "non-contributors". "non contributors are those that post nothing but nonsense, personal stuff, and chatter. Without having anything to say about computer chess. For example, check *your* own posts. You spend endless words arguing about what is and is not acceptable posting here, yet you write *nothing* about computer chess, which is the _reason_ for CCC. This is not a forum for determining what is acceptable or not. We decided that when we formed CCC. This _is_ a forum for discussing computer chess topics, however...

As well what may be said at rgcc which is >acceptable may not be allowable at CCC.... they don't need to be "monitored." and you completely miss the point.
