Dear Mr. Hoffman,
_
Again, I'd suggest ignoring all email
from chesstours AKA Larry Evans.
And please be prepared for all of your
correspondence to appear on message
boards and newsgroups, courtesy
Evans and his pet hack Larry Parr.
_
Best wishes,
Neil Brennen

Does Larry Parr have any more to say on this matter
of GM Evans supposedly being called a "hack" by Neil
Brennen?

I see no reason to "infer" that GM Evans is considered
by Neil Brennen to be a "hack" from the NB note above.

Louis Blair sees no reason to infer it and sees no reason not to infer it.
Welcome to Blair-City!

An admission from Larry Parr that, in the Neil Brennen note,
the word, "hack", was not used to describe GM Evans.

Here we an interesting possibility, that one can need a 'hack', or a pet
hack, and yet not be one. Louis Blair is apparently of Brennen's opinion.

"'hack' was the word [Neil Brennen] used to
describe the 5-time U.S. Champion and Hall
of Famer." - Larry Parr (20 May 2006

Brennens genius extends to recommending to an editor that the chessic worth
of a 5 times US champion is beyond any consideration, and that those who
would propose the contrary, especially Larry Parr are therefore hacks.

This is almost as amusing as reading Brennan's take on Chess Bitch, and
'woman's stuff' yikes, 2 subjects, GM chess knowledge and females, for
which it is arguable that he knows anything whatever, and who in any case,
writes in such a loose style as to make every suggestion of intent he
writes, with the same clarity as his ability to write to any chess subject.

Lovely Louis continues to worry over this equivocation, to the neglect of
missing entirely the fatuous suppositions of he who made it.
