Chris Falter posted the following above:

"The idea that Sloan's election chances were diminished by the fake
postings is ludicrous. I read hundreds of comments by USCF members
both pro- and anti-Sloan during the election cycle, but not even one
comment considered the fake Usenet postings to be a reason to oppose
Sloan. In fact, the fake Usenet postings may have even helped Sloan's
election chances, because they evoked public expressions of sympathy
for Sloan from people like Jack LeMoine who usually disagreed with
him."

I need to point out that Chris Falter and Jack LeMoine were two of my
strongest opponents during the USCF election and were the two biggest
supporters of Susan Polgar. For Chris Falter to say that his vicious
attacks helped me is pure nonsense.

Chris Falter's postings were especially objectionable because he often
claimed that he knew things that he did not know. More importantly, he
quoted me on the USCF Issues Forums as writing that I "went all the
way" with Susan Polgar when she was 17 years old. This was a lie. I
have never written or stated any such thing. This false quotation
obviously made Susan Polgar angry and contributed to the problem.
