I see. Does that mean that you are claiming that you were at one time
a 2300+ player?

Sam, you are so tedious. All this was dealt with here years ago.
Since learning that the correct Harkness-to-Elo conversion for my
peak postal rating of 1806, back in 1986, was around 2260-2270 Elo,
rather than 2306 as I previously thought, I don't claim now to have
been 2300+. But I was pretty close. That I was officialy of Master
rank and #45 in the USCF postal rankings is a matter of public record.
Eat your heart out.
Now, Sam, I suggest that if you are genuinely interested in helping
the cause of chess, you quit wasting people's time re-asking questions
that were answered years ago. Instead, answer the question Mr. Hutnik
posed. But you won't do that, will you? Because you are totally
negative, not the least bit positive. You haven't the least idea how
to help chess, nor the least intention of doing so.

I can only thank you for so thoroughly demonstrating how accurate I
was in giving Mr. Hutnik such a negative report on you.
