In a way this is the only way my ego would ever get out of control.
What greater honor than another thread with my name in it posted by
Spam Scone, the very same ace reporter who spammed the world with the
news of Peter Leko's death? The tireless researcher whose website
repeats the exploded myth that Einstein got bad grades in school? The
alert citizen who was tossed out of the Kasparov-Deep Junior match
because his cell phone rang in the playing room and he was incapable
of turning it off? (Twice.) Truly, I am honored.

Actually, Spam Scone and Sam Sloan are different people.
One is a parody of a human being, the other is a parody
of a parody. I leave it to you to work out who is who.

I hope for all the readers here, and the other 40 groups Spam usually
crossposts to in his traditional ignorance of basic netiquette, that
this doesn't happen every time I have a lousy tournament. It will be a
long way back and you would all get really bored with it if I start
playing regularly.

Keep the faith, brother!
