I believe that the ChessPromotion posts at the USCF
Issues forum started MANY months later.

There is a coincidence that does not involve the
ChessPromotion posts: The earliest USCF Issues
posts (that I can find) (posted by anyone) come from
around June of 2005. Don't take this too seriously
until someone checks it. I might have goofed. I am
not sure that I understand the USCF software.

In the old days (2003-4 ?), I think the FSS posted as the "Rev Calvin
Quoz" or something like that. He wasn't into impersonation as much as
outright bigotry and vulgarity. Then again, the Rev Calvin *could*
have been somebody else.
