I would like to see a USCF structured somewhat like American Mensa

Hey! There is great new idea. Would you tell us more about this?

Troll.

Those who are new members of this group may not be familiar with this,
but every few years "Old Haasie" hits this forum with a thousand or so
newsgroup postings about his "Mensa-membership Plan". It is like one
of those volcanoes
that erupts periodically and spews ash all over the place. Whenever
there is a USCF election, he asks each candidate to agree to endorse
his plan in order to get his one vote (except that he has not been a
member for years).

We can see that one of these eruptions is about to take place and
there is nothing we can do to stop it, so we might as well sit back
and watch.
