RESERVOIR OF DECENCY So, then, those USCFers who counted the votes -- many of whom likely supported candidates other than Sam Sloan -- nonetheless issued a ballot tally electing Sam to the Executive Board. One good thing to come out of this election -- besides the election of Sam and, possibly the elevation of Randy Hough to a leadership position in

Since Sam Sloan's run-ins with Wiki editors get so much attention here, I thought I'd mention that there's an interesting article about Wikipedia in the latest New Yorker: http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/060731fa_fact LT

Susan Polgar is: -- a strong grandmaster; -- the first woman who has achieved the grandmaster title over the board (there were some phony GM titles awarded to the Soviet woman players); -- one of the strongest woman chess players ever, and one of the top 2-3 woman players in the world for the

Sam, For someone who has argued before the US Supreme Court, you should know better. You have absolutely no evidence that Paul is the "Faker". All you have is innuendo and feeble circumstancial "evidence". Give it up. Why should you care who impersonates you on this or any other forum? You are on the USCF BOD.

nolan New postPosted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 3:39 pm I've got what I think are the final state-by-state totals. Sloan received 73 votes in New Jersey, Goodall received 55. Sloan received 99 votes in New York, Goodall received 70. Sloan received 61 votes in Pennsylvania, Goodall received 45.

Sure, why not, but not one at the time, that's a nonsense. There is no need to have a separate entry for each vp or whatever of fide or whatever, that's would be silly :-) :-) Instead, ther may be justg one growing article which would list top chess clerks and similar criminalists, just their name and their tenure (years in the office).

Sam Sloan's Secret Agenda for the USCF Now that I have been elected to the Executive Board, I can now reveal my hitherto secret plans for the future of the organization.
