Default Madness! Madness!

People thought I was exaggerating when I wrote that Bill Goichberg and
the rest of the board has gone completely mad.

In reality, I was understating the situation.

The motion which has already been passed 6-0 by the board and is just
awaiting ratification and approval by the delegates is worse than
anybody imagined.

It provides that regular members of the USCF will no longer receive
Chess Life magazine. Thus, when our 30,000 regular members go to renew
their regular membership, they will probably not realize that they
will no longer receive Chess Life. Few of them will be alert enough to
realize that only if they pay for the "Premium Membership" at a cost
of an extra $13 will they receive Chess Life magazine.

Obviously, there will be so few subscribers that Chess Life will stop
publication soon.

Worse than that, Chess Life 4 Kids will stop publication immediately.

This is completely mad, and remember that this has already been passed
by the board 6-0.
