Here is the actual 3/17/2002 quote of Taylor Kingston
that Phil Innes reported (Thu, 03 Aug 2006 03:00:50 GMT):

"Interestingly, Hanon Russell met with Niro
just a few days ago. Due to the recent
expansion of ChessCafe's and Russell
Enterprises' activities, the company recently
moved into new offices, and had a 'grand
opening' reception, which several dignitaries,
including Niro, attended. I was invited too,
but couldn't make the long drive. If I had
gone, I might have been able to bend Niro's
ear a bit on Evans."

(Taylor Kingston has written (4 Aug 2006 12:26:15 -0700)
that he had in mind criticism of the "Evans' CL column".)

"Where [in the 3/17/2002 quote] is there an

Does Phil Innes have any specific facts that contradict this
assertion? If so, what are they? If not, why doesn't Phil
Innes clearly admit that he has no specific facts that
contradict the above assertion?

7 ... I think goody-two-shoes needs to be exposed for the
7 failed and bitter wannabe author he is, along with all his
7 spite against those who have achieved something in
7 chess.

I have done some writing. I have criticized some of these
achievers. Does that make me a "wannabe author" involved
in book banning?
Actually, Dr. Blair, you count as an achiever. Mr. Innes counts as a
wannabe, a "nearly an IM" in all aspects of chess.
