That would end the need for a recall.


The problem is that today is April Fools Day. We will have to wait
until tomorrow to find out whether this seemingly good news (good for
us, bad for the Hungarians) is a joke or not.


Phil, this is your work. Are you putting us on, or is it true?


This is the first I have heard of this


* This is the first you have heard of this?? Phil, the page has your
name on it. At the bottom it reads:

Phil Innes

April 1, 2008

* Are you saying someone has impersonated you, forged your name? And
on the Chessville website, i.e. *_your_* website?? Some clarification
seems definitely in order.



and I pretty much know whats
going on. I knew something was up. I have not read the post yet. Does
it mention film crew?

$23 million isn't big budget these days, but a fair share could set you up,
especially if the back-of-it project was a 12-week serial on HBO.


Anyway, I can't report off-topic subjects from the interview more than is
admitted as public interview, but really! People should wake up a bit - is
everyone really dulled to sleep here?


PI


I see now the comment "This is the first I have heard of this" was
made by Rob Mitchell, not by Phil Innes, so I withdraw my question
above. Still, some definite clarification would be welcome.
