45. Alas, coquette, sitting depressed, in a funk, down and out, forlorn, hesitant, even, dreading the next essential entry that absolutely must be made, and now, called to action, and running out of ways to insert redundant dependent clauses, entered the next essential element, one that would haunt the new venture for years to come, yes, the dreaded arrival on the scene of the Site Admin Mods.

47. Following a brief hiatus (pregnant with the sure knowledge that the next one to speak would lose) Flash, Jr, said, "Moderation is a good thing."

"A grommet flauber is an eletrical device that enables the user to eliminate any, already set up, chess website and not allow any new ones to come on board, thus allowing for exclusivity to the owner of their chess site. It works, without going into any trade secrets, like an internet magnet. The only one in existence is currently in the hands of uncle Alan and aunt Edith. Reliability is so good that in their tests (which spanned 5 years) there has been not one failure to perform as stated. As with all superior technology there is redundancy, though not broadcast. For us nothing. I am Edith and Alan's favourite relative. So there you have it Chris....what say you?" Russ implored.
