4. Make videos and DVDs of our National Elementary Championships and
send them to the schools for promotional purposes and post them on
youtube.com

This is a good plan except for step 1, where I think Sam imagines a
discount that is nowhere near deep enough, and step 2, which attempts
to propagate yet another of USCF's useless publishing ventures.

For those readers who do not know Paul Rubin, I need to explain the
above posting.

Paul Rubin thinks that USCF membership should be free or at the most
$5 per year. He wants to abolish Chess Life magazine or reduce it to
an ezine. He believes that the USCF should get its computers by going
dumpster diving. He has not been a USCF member for 15 years and his
last rating was 1282.

Fortunately, the USCF has never adopted his recommendations because,
if we had, the USCF would have been out of business years ago.
