Actually JFern is probably ahead of you Richard, but I forgot about
checking him. Also Eade and even Dorsch may be ahead of you, but I
couldn't remember without doing more looking what names they officially
posted under.

Most importantly however, Sam can't lie his way out of his statement
that Hanke and I post more than anyone else to the newsgroups. Hanke
doesn't even crack the top 10 and Sloan has over 10,000 posts if all
newsgroups are counted, putting over well ahead of me.

Actually JFern is probably ahead of you Richard, but I forgot about
checking him.

Dunno exactly how you checked, but I plugged in rgcp and author is "John
Fernandez" and got 5,980.

John Fernandez

A couple more that I forgot or found:

Tom Klem: 4,860 surpassing Liam, but trailing Fernandez and
Peterson.

Tom Dorsch: 3,370 under TOMDORSCH. I'm unsure about other names he
might have used.

I still can't find Jim Eade under a search, so he must be using a name
that I haven't come up with yet to search under.

I found another 868 posts by Larry Parr under the name Parrthenon, so
he's up to about 1,888. He may have also used other names in the past,
and I think he goes back a lot further than most of the rest of us do,
as he was even posting before there was such a thing as RGCP.

So, with these updated standings and these don't include Jim Eade we
have:

1-Eric Johnson 8,380
2-Sam Sloan 8,360
3-Bruce Draney 8,100
4-Kevin Bachler 6,390
5-Stan Booz 6,130
6-John Fernandez 5,980
7-Richard Peterson 4,980
8-Tom Klem 4,860
4,840
10-Neil Brennen 4,551
11-Tom Dorsch 3,370
12-Al Lawrence 2,750
13-Richard Haas 2,190
14-Larry Parr 1,888
15-Tim Hanke 1,530

I'm pretty sure Eade will be ahead of Dorsch when I finally figure out
what name he used to post under.

Hanke is almost off the radar screen unless we go down to the top 20
instead of the top 15.

Best Regards,

Bruce

Yes that puts you ahead of Neil, and Liam, but still behind Stan. In
addition Al Lawrence has 2,750 posts under AlforChess and I'm pretty
sure he's used other posting names besides that, so sorry Richard, that
puts you off the list.

Larry Parr has 1,020 under that name, but I suspect he's used other
names that I couldn't recollect, so he may be up there in the top 10
too.

If it makes you feel any better Richard, Tim Hanke has only 1,530 posts
to RGCP, so much for Sam's claim that he posts more to this newsgroup
than any other person besides Bruce Draney. He's not even close to
cracking the top 10 of the one's I've mentioned.

What Bruce does not recognize is that rgcp was just formed a few years
ago. There have been many other groups. I said that Hanke has been
posting since at least 1994. Rgcp did not exist then.

For example, Tim Hanke and John Fernandez used to be two of the most
active posters to the Chess List. Go to
http://listserv.surfnet.nl/archives/chess-l.html and try counting the
number of Hanke posts there.

I see. Then how did Hanke get in? How much do you remember about the
Hanke postings over the years?

When compared to you...

John Fernandez

Dear Richard:

Thanks for the love. Shall we have a group hug now?

Best Regards,

Do I need an approval from all the posters here to have an opinion
about the EB? This is my opinion. You are entitled to yours.

You ARE entitled to your opinion.

But you ARE representing USCF.

I think everyone would love to treat you as a serious person, but the hyperbole
is just a little much take credibly.

I hope all those superstars and wizards of yours are successful, but
considering the plight of USCF, it might be a little considerate of them to let
them be human for a while.

Since I have not posted as often to any newsgroups as Hanke, and you
have posted to any or all newsgroups more than me, your statement is a
lie in at least two ways. You have posted to all newsgroups
considerably more than I have.

You need to go to your doctor and get a prescription for your pathlogy
that really works. Whatever you are taking now, seems to be causing
your delusions to worsen.

Expecting an admission that you were mistaken or that you bent the
truth is like expecting eclipses of the sun on consecutive days.

You forgot to add the Vicar's count to him.
