You're right, in a sense; however, this is rec.games.chess.misc
(miscellaneous), so anything related to chess is fair game on
this forum


No, that's not the sense in which "misc" is used here. When the
chess newsgroup was divided into several pieces, groups were made
for analysis, politics, etc. The "misc" group was created as a
catchall for everything else left over. It was specifically made
to *not* include those things for which there were separate
groups.

The problem with politics here is almost entirely because of one
person--Sam Sloan. Sloan apparently thinks that what he has to
say is so important that it transcends all rules--rules are for
everyone but him.

But, of course, as someone else pointed out, there's no way to
enforce any rules here.
