Ah, so now Phil comes out with what he believes is *my* sinister
motive! (amused chuckle) I want a Chess Life column?? Sorry to
disappoint you, Phil, but my reaction to that idea is rather like W.T.
Sherman's when he was approached about running for President: "I will
not accept if nominated, and will not serve if elected."

Taylor, take Philsy's accusation as proof you've won the argument. He's
accused me of angling for a USCF job a number of times, and always
after he's lost the argument.
