The USCF is in bad shape. I have never said this before. We have lost
more than one million dollars in the past few years. We have lost
money eight years in a row.

The new board, acting with the best of intentions, is in the process
of making matters worse.

What is the solution? We should remember the reason we are still in
existence. We should go back to basics. I am opposed to plans by the
current board to outsource almost everything. I strongly oppose the
plan to outsource the books and equipment business, as that is out
most profitable area and the area where we earned the two million
dollars that was squandered by recent mismanagement. I oppose the plan
to outsource scholastic chess. I oppose the plan to sell the building
and move to a small town in Tennessee. I do support the new Executive
Director.

How can you support the New Executive Director and oppose everything
that he's done during his term?! You can't have it both ways. It'd be
like saying you support Adolf Hitler but were opposed to the genocide
and world war.

What has Bill done since he become ED that you support?

All of these decisions were made before Bill Goichberg became ED. He
has to follow their orders to keep his job.

You should remind him of that.

So, I guess you lied about Kelm and Vaughan too?

That Kelm was a a really bad guy. Good thing we bumped him off and got
rid of him.

Umm, keep what job? I thought Bill was working pro-bono.

Bill Goichberg is the Executive Director, working without pay. For the
last 40 years he has been like a boy outside a candy store, looking in
the window. Bill Goichberg worked for the USCF in 1964 as the ratings
statistician. Later, when the USCF moved to Newburgh, he could not
move with them, so he lost his job. Now, finally, after 40 long years,
he is back in, this time as Executive Director. His orders are to sell
the building and to get rid of the books and equipment business and to
take whatever he can get for it.

He obviously knows that if he expresses disagreement with these
decisions, he will be fired on the spot, so he tries his best to
implement the decisions which he had nothing to do with making.

Wouldn't the sale of the building bring in a lot of money and wouldn't
the move save a lot of money in the future?

Gee Sam, he signed a deal for a certain GM to get appearance money even
though that GM keeps threatening to sue us for all sorts of ridiculous
reason. Didn't even consult with the board and some were highly ****ed. Yet,
he still gots his job. I think you, Sam, are full of ****.
