If Joel Channing were worth 100 million dollars, then he would be
sponsoring the US Championship, and be hailed as Emporer NERO! I doubt
that there are more than 20 millionares involved in chess poltiics, and
more than 2 or 3 active at any one given time.

Regarding the "Under the Table" incident at the board meeting in
Stamford Connecticut on November 17, 2006, Joel Channing has told a lie
when the truth would have served him better. This has caused me to
wonder how many other things Joel Channing says about himself are lies.

For example, Joel Channing claims that he is a member of Mensa.

Somebody has looked him up and says that he is not a member of Mensa.

Joel Channing claims that he is a graduate of MIT.

He does not seem to be the MIT type. I would like for somebody to look
him up ton see if he really did graduate from there.

Don Schultz claims that Channing is worth a $100 million and that he
has "That Midas Touch":

The fact that Channing is exceptionally tight with his own money does
not bother me, because many rich people got that way by not spending
it. However, the fact that he is very liberal with spending the USCF's
money does bother me.

I would like for somebody to check him out and see if anything Joel
Channing says about himself is true.

I wished that he would have put his hands on my lap. I was just jealous
that Beatriz got all the attention.
