Wow! The exciting world of American chess. It's fantastic!

No doubt, I am an outsider; y'all don't know me. I'm just someone who
has been reading these groups for nearly 15 years, when AOL had a DOS
interface and cost 5 bucks and hour at 2400bps.

As a resident of Tennessee, I can tell anyone who wants to know that
it's not a very smart cultural move for the USCF to go to Crossville,
which is conveniently located between Nashville and Knoxville,
smack-dab-in-the-middle of no where.

Crossville is in the type of area where if you're black, you're driving
a car and you run out of gas there, you'd better find a hill to coast
down, because your best bet would be to keep going.

I'm an outsider, no doubt. But I have not been reading the lists for
nothing all these years. I played scholastic chess back in the early
90s, and will always have an interest in the game. I poke my head in
rec.games.chess.politics to see the inner working of chess from time to
time, but like I say, I'm an outsider, and I don't know how things work
here, but I can tell a catastrophy 100 miles away when it's on it's
way.

Folks, the USCF will die soon; it's on its deathbed. I don't know the
details, but they seem to always have a money problem; it's a wonder
they can ever operate.

Sam raises some vaild concerns, IMHO. Whenever you have small cliques
within a large orginization, whether be at work at the office or at a
place like FedEx, you have to watch them because they've separated from
the rest of the group for a specific reason, good or bad. I make no
accusations, though. After all, I'm an outsider.

The USCF is on it's last legs. I hope Miss Beatriz does not plan to use
USCF money when she sues Sam (plus, libel suits are some of the hardest
to prove, let alone win, in court. I'm a journalism student, so we are
taught this over and over again).

I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the exchanges between StanB
and Sam, the crazy postings of "Rev. Dr. Calvin Abu Hindoo Qusz, Jr"
(who "pledges to never buy a Shahcom sensory board", what was his real
identity, BTW?) and all the stuff that happens here. I just hope you
guys within the USCF can get your stuff straight, because we might we
watching the death of American chess before us.

That is false, I never have evaded service. Is it my fault that you

either, that is a cherry, didn't you know? Not Marinello neither,
never has been. I won't address you any more, you aren't worth it.

Does anyone here know of potential assets that Mr S. Sloan may have?
I believe there is an estate of his deceased mother to which he is
arguing he has an entitlement. Does anyone here know how to get in
touch with Mr Creighton Sloan?

Is Sam Sloan still with his 'wife'? The dumb plump ugly one who did
not listen to her mom's warnings about him and has ruined her life?
Does anyone know her maiden name and how one could get in touch with
members of her family back in Japan? I am confident when they know
the whole score they would rescue the infant, maybe the mother too.

Back home I know what gets done to men like him. The only reasons
he doesn't he go back to Afghanistan where he belongs is that they
don't pay Social Security there and also when he commits 'liable'
as the indigent coward ignorantly called it the Afghan he abuses
may give justice to him more directly than is possible in the US.
