this is pure horse-hockey.  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...

Now if it could only be used for that...

they don't need to be "monitored."  and you completely miss the point.  If
all you do is misbehave *over there*, then a moderator would not be doing his
job to use that behavior when making decisions *over here*.
