despite your ignorance, you are obviously hostile to it.

I am not usually able to determine people's ignorance of a topic that
quickly. I was taught to take time and discuss before making such
pronouncements. Congratulations on your keen and quick senses.


I wasn't commenting on Rob's feigned concern for
children, at all. However, I think the less the USCF has
to do with scholastic chess the better (the USCF is filled
with people like you, after all) However, in my state
background checks for parent volunteers in youth activities
are done by the police. I don't know how effective or
expensive it is compared with other methods, but it's
hardly something cooked up to enrich the evil and
greedy capitalists.

I am sort of unsure as to what threat I pose to scholastic chess, or
for that matter, all those other people like me affiliated with USCF
(my only current affiliation is as member; again I don't see what
threat USCF members "like me" pose to scholastic chess, but so be
it)However, again, I am sure your Sherlockian senses are serving you
well by denigrating me and other USCF members, as well as "evil and
greedy capitalists."

Thank you, David Kane, for keeping scholastic chess safe from the likes
of me.
