To the USCF Delegates and Alternates:

Re: Petition to Recall Bill Goichberg from the USCF Executive
Board

Dear Delegates and Alternates:

I am writing to you because of a grave crisis that confronts the
United States Chess Federation. Yes, I know that every year we have
another grave crisis, so what else is new? But this is the mother of
all grave crisis, because this grave crisis THREATENS THE ENTIRE
EXISTENCE OF THE UNITED STATES CHESS FEDERATION.

That still did not work.
This time I wrote Sloans instead of Sloan's
That should work

I will try this again. What I am trying to do is separate all these
different discussions.

Now, what is my "Delicate Sense of Timing".

I put in an extra blank space into the title between of and Timing.

Will somebody please explain what this thread is all about?

What is my "Delicate Sense of Timing"?

Neil Brennen's claim to fame is that he invented the term "Trollgar"
which has been widely copied and is almost universally accepted.

Now, will you stop changing the title to these threads. Note that I
have changed the title. It used to be "Neil Brennen's claim to fame."
I have changed it to Neil Brennen's claim to fame (no dot.)

Another year of Fake Numbers from the USCF

USCF Executive Director Bill Hall writes the following in the USCF
BINFOS:

"To the USCF Executive Board:

"The audit is winding down and we should have a Draft for circulation
by Tuesday. The bottom line should show a loss of $53,000. Although
you never can be happy with a loss, considering the extra expenditures
for Spectrum (and the profit-sharing plan), increased legal expenses,
a significant write-off in inventory, and some significant losses on
two investments, I believe we did not do too poorly this year."

If the loss was really only $53,000 we might agree. By the way, that
number includes $13,000 in unnecessary Internet Insurance that Joel
Channing insisted that the USCF get to protect HIS assets.

However, as Grant Perks explains in a posting to Susan's
chessdiscussion group, that number is arrived at after the office
ignored the $50,000 cap that the delegates voted to place on imaginary
money received from the Life Membership Account. Grant Perks explains,
"the office knows the year end adjustment will be made each year and
they can spend based on the cap being reversed".
