7 ... I looked at the USCF site this morning and reported on the
7 $10,000 'award', which is this week's scandal, and also how
7 it was treated at the Nolanland forum by a moderator - which
7 even a Rhino's skin would register as rash and offensive
7 abuse of speech.

Is Phil Innes claiming that the moderator treated the subject
with "rash and offensive abuse of speech"?

Is Louis Blair asking me if he can understand what I wrote? I think he is
asking me that. OTOH, he could be asking me if I 'claim' I wrote what I did.

If so, where are
the examples?

Louis Blair doesn't understand where these examples are from what I wrote,
even though I wrote Nolandland, which he forgot to snip ;(

What "reporting" is Phil Innes writing about? Phil Innes
wouldn't want us to think that he was being deliberately
vague, would he?

Luois Blair, or Blairs, speaking in the plural, has done his usual thing of
cutting text then asking a question about it, and unusual for him, or them,
has come immediately tot he point. 'Vague' he says. Telling me that I would
hate to be thought of as vague by them.

Perhaps the answer is at the USCF website, or the backside of the moon?
Perhaps 'we' could think which of those are more likely locations, but most
likely 'we' won't and instead 'we' will demand to know what text 'we' cut,
and whooppee! I can definitely keep this sucker going til christmas and win
another $5 bet.

7 ... The per capita rate is interesting, and if extrapolated
7 here would have produced 80 GMs. I think actual
7 production in the same period was for home-grown GMs,
7 UK = 20, USA = 2. Meanwhile Poland has produced 20
7 GMs from an even smaller pop. than UK since the wall
