    The funniest thing about this thread, for me, has been watching Robbie carrobie metaphorically hop from one foot to the other, desperately trying to attack me or FMF without appearing as though he is agreeing with Very Rusty.

    I have been frequenting quite a bit lately, so it may be time for me to foot some of the bill again.
    I think you should also pay for my subscription and cover the cost of my internet connection.

    Sir,
    I actually hadn't noticed that! Is that what you see?

    But then this is for the "In Crowd" vote isn't it!

    Kind Regards,
    Sincerely,

    Sir,
    Thank you kindly for your response. I'd suggest joining a clan. But I am sure you've seen all the issues going on right now there. You can get to play in tournaments if you enjoy chess.

    I usually banter in the General and Clan forums when I am waiting for a move. The way it is now in the clans we don't have the amount of games we use to have, so it gives me far too much time in the forums. 😉

    Regards,
    -VR

    What a great question, seriously.

    Most, not all, but most of the arguments here are based on what we see. I see Robbie desperate to join in, but can't because you are holding the 'flip-chart marker'. And he hates you almost as much as he hates me.

    I see groups of posters who frequently compromise their principles based on a hierarchy of cyber-allegiances. Partisan principles in play...ignore what is RIGHT focus on what is supporting my in-group.

    All that's so trivial and mundane I've already forgotten about it.

    Sir,
    Hate is such a strong word. I can't say where I've really hated anyone at least on this site. 😉

    Are you still looking for that 1200 pounds? Wasn't it supposed to be for a furnace? Anyway, good luck soliciting donations. 😉
