Let me just go over this one more time. Although it sounds like I'm
blasting Bill (which I probably am for a multitude of these
informational issues), I'm really angry at USCF's lack of simple
courtesy when it comes to making things a level playing field.

Why can USCF not:
a) Make 6 or 7 phone calls to the candidates immediately after
the count is completed?
b) Have an official spokesman announce the results by e-mailing
the 6 or 7 candidates so they hear it from USCF first?
c) Have our own website get information up quickly?
d) Have someone, in USCF,(one of the many anonymice out there)
officially post to rgcp.

The USCF should go to a metro district model. That will increase
membership enough that the election returns will be broadcast
nationwide on live TV. Then there won't be need of such phone calls.
Yeah, that's the ticket.

Utter garbage. Your phrase "it is well known that" proves about as much
as the
"everybody knows that..." that Sam likes to use at Delegates meetings.

How often has the average organizer visited the USCF office? How often have
you?

I think I have been there 5 or 6 times, including twice this year.

However, that's not very relevant, as I live 1300 miles away.

How often have other organizers who live in the Hudson Valley or even
the NY/NJ/PA region visited the USCF offices?

What would be an all-day wrestle with the airlines for me is a 30 minute
drive, at best, for Bill.

Bill can speak for himself but I wonder how many organizers live close to
the office.

Once, and it was only on business for ICC.

It's a 15 minute drive. Nevertheless, I visit the office no more than twice a
month on the average. One visit most months is to the Chess Life building
only, where I bring my display ads. On occasion I also visit to meet with the
ED (one day this year), for a PB meeting (two days this year), or to bring a
rating report (two or three days this year).

I realize this seems like a small amount ... to Bill.... but to any normal
organizer its huge.
