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 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?

You reply to a post containing a link and rather than read the link,
you ask for a newsgroup response about what the linked article says?
And the article is on Phil's site? Rob, this indeed smacks of April
the First.

No. It does not mention film crew. Did you think that you were going
to be on the film crew?

Is that what this is all about, your defense of Polgar and Truong and
attacks on everybody else?

You certainly are naive if you think that you are part of the Polgar
"team".

I linked to the site from the link Sloan posted and it referred back
to that page. Yeah. It is April 1st. My kids have burned me already.
But I had heard "something" earlier was going to happen. If it is a
joke , then they got me too. I am trying to verify.

$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?

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

Phil Innes
for www.chessville.com
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
