You misunderstand me, I want to have politics off of this newsgroup too. I
have said several times that politics belong in rgcp only. My intent with the empty postings was to show how badly political postings pollute rgcm. But you are correct, I am going to post to rgcp to make my point there. "Terry" wrote in message ... Why are American chess politics taking over this newsgroup. ?

Last I heard, this is rec.games.chess.MISCELLANEOUS, meaning just about anything and everything that has to do with chess belongs here. Who appointed the great contributor Pete Casso Usenet moderator? But go ahead and cry, Pete. Whining usually gets one what they want and is almost always impressive. Regards, Matt |

As others (plural) have already pointed out to you several times (plural),
there is already an ad hoc politics group, and miscellaneous is for other things not covered by the ad hoc groups. Otherwise, miscellaneous gets the postings of all groups, which makes no sense with all the other ad hoc groups already in place. This is so in any administrative structure, including usenet and the military. I am continuing the 'discussion' at rgcp where all this political crap belongs to in the first place and nowhere else. The annoyance there begins to inculcate the message. To the others, have a little patience until this whole crap shakes out. The alternative is to endure the political crap in rgcm in all eternity, it is no option for me to do nothing against this abuse of the politicians of rgcm (and other chess groups). KEEP RGCM CLEAN!
