Bowel Boy is a journalist? ROTFLMAO!!

Let's take him at his word. Here are some questions I'd like to ask
Mr. Truong.

Q. A published report by Brian Mottershead links your IP address to
numerous obscene posts on the Usenet group rec.games.chess.politics.
This report has been reviewed twice by experts and found to have been
sound in its methodology and conclusion. Did you make the posts in
question? Did your wife Susan Polgar make the posts in question? If
you or Susan Polgar did not make the posts, who did?

"These attacks are an invasion of my privacy...".

[change the subject]


Q. Have you ever posted anonymously to newsgroups? If so, under what
screen names?

"What do you have against anonymous posts?
Even if I had...."

[duck the question]


Q. Have you ever sent email under another person's name?

"I often share a computer with others, including
my wife and kids..."

[duck]


Q. Have you ever used remailer programs for posting to newsgroups?

"I've heard of those, but I'm no expert on that
sort of thing..."

[duck]


Q. Have you ever posted under the name "Bob Bennett" to the chess
newsgroups?

"I heard a funny joke the other day. Two GMs
are in a sushi bar..."

[duck]


Q. Have you ever used another person's ID on a chess-playing site?

"Sometimes I play under my wife's ID, to get
her bullet rating back up..."


Have you ever used a chess-playing engine while playing a game on a
chess-playing site?

"Are you crazy? I would never do that. But
in our last article for Chess Life, we had Fritz
do most of the grunt work, as usual."


Q. Have you ever fed hot-sauce to Susan Polgar''s children as
punishment or to force them to learn chess?

"Okay, there are three guys in a plane: a
Catholic, a Rabbi, and an atheist..."


Q. Why did you use the title "Dr." on your homepage when you did not
have a doctorate?

"That must have been a typo..."


Q. What business relationship do you have with Rob Mitchell? With his
company Chess Masterminds? With Chessville?

"I read an interesting article on Chessville once.
It was about the Exchange variation of the..."


Q. What business relationship do you have with Philip Keith Innes, AKA
Phil Innes?

"Who?"


Q. Why did Rob Mitchell offer to be "deposed" if Sloan's lawsuit comes
to trial?

"Don;t talk to me about Sam Sloan-- I get
REAL MAD!!! One day soon, I'm gonna kick
his..."


Q. Who was responsible for the notorious Chess Masterminds press
release that claimed Susan Polgar was one of the three strongest chess
players in the world, but didn't state that in fact that ranking was
among women only?

"That was supposed to be understood. Everybody
knows that you don;t compare girls to men when it
comes to playing chess, 'cause they are, like, dumb."


Q. Why are you unable to visit California?

"Didn't you know? They have earthquakes
there all the time. It's too dangerous for me
to take that kind of risk, since I am a very
rich man."
