POT CALLS KETTLE BLACK

Surely you can't be suggesting that a known perjurer, such as
yourself, should be taken at all seriously? -- Taylor Kingston to jr

Looks like known perjurer Mr. 2300+ Elo has added another
person to his enemy list -- without addressing the topic at hand.

My understanding is that GM Evans has several offers pending to
pick up his Q&A column from prestigious European magazines.

If that happens, we will have a good way to
quantify the value of Evans' column. Parr can
feel vindicated if Evans' new magazine gains,
say, 10,000 subscribers and USCF loses 10,000
members.

But whatever the effect on subscriptions, I'd expect that
Evans' columns will improve in quality. This
is because working for a private magazine dependent
on subscribers is going to be more demanding than
his semi-patronage position at the USCF. So the
chess world wins in any event.

Another way of saying it is that they're preaching to the choir.

How long before ICC starts its own OTB events?

Polling current members is probably not worth the bother for several
reasons:

(1) Does not provide any help in determining what might attract new
members;

(2) Does not provide any help in determining what might recapture
former members;

(3) Provides little help in determining what new features might
increase appeal of magazine to current members:

(4) May be biased towards a status quo that is not presently working
very well.
