Bill Goichberg has been circulating a "new plan". Essentially, his new
plan calls for a reinstatement of the "no magazine membership".

Regular dues for those who want the magazine will be $42. Those who do
not want the magazine will only have to pay $29.

In the fiscal year ending May 30, 2008, three weeks from today, the
USCF will have lost $300,000.

Bill Goichberg seems to think that this change will stop the horrific
losses the USCF has suffered every year EXCEPT FOR THE ONE YEAR THAT I
WAS ON THE BOARD.

However, Goichberg is ignoring the fact that during the one year that
I was on the board membership increased and the year ended with a
small surplus.

Bill Goichberg is claiming that it is because of the "Internet" that
the USCF lost money this year.

We had the Internet last year too.

Bill Goichberg is losing money this year because of mismanagement.
That is the reason, pure and simple.

Of course, my posting about this over on the USCF Issues Forum will
probably be pulled as a violation of the AUG, but at least it can not
be said that I did not try to tell the members.

Bill Goichberg needs to resign. However, Goichberg is playing the
Truong card well. By now, everybody knows that Goichberg is not the
right man for the job, but we also know that Truong is an outright
crook and a thief. Nobody wants to try to force Goichberg out knowing
that he might be replaced by Truong.

I realize that logic is not Sam's strong point, but how can he
simultaneously refer to "the horrific losses the USCF has suffered
every year EXCEPT FOR THE ONE YEAR THAT I WAS ON THE
BOARD" (obviously implying causality), and assert that every proposal
he made was blocked or voted down? Sloan's term on the Board was a
trivial irrelevancy. Of course, that's what he's always been.
