They certainly cannot play chess and have too much time on their hands for my liking.....I bet they play at work instead of being productive like a normal person

Actually, I only see three names there...
fawcr01
burvm01
trewr01
Although I agree that the name similarity and nationality all look pretty consistent...
(EDIT: ...and just for the record, I play chess at work, and I fail to see how being productive makes you "normal" 😛)
Ah, but now you broach the topic of whether doing "work" is actually "productive". Human beings are essentially animals of instinct, as are all animals. The concept of work is based in a capitalistic economy where little pieces of paper possess some sort of predetermined value.
But what is that value, really? Isn't the value of our money set by other people who trade it on a market day after day? How can it be that the value of the "work" that we do is determined by the acts of buying and selling currency far beyond our scope of control?
What, exactly, are we adding value to through our supposed productivity? Isn't productivity simply an abstract concept which exists to encourage us to work harder for no specific predetermined goals?
Wow, I'm deep. 😛
Originally posted by trewr01I beg your pardon! I never "ho" at work. I do, however, play chess at work, but that is okay, because I am a grad student, and we are expected to do intelligent things (don't look at my rating) 😀
Surely going to work means you are hoing to "work" as in doing something productive in the time you are there ?????????
As opposed to sitting playing chess all day and getting payed "money for nothing" ?

Two players complaining about two other players, and all four players' names matching the following regular expression:

Originally posted by fawcr01No, that's not sad. That is actually one of the few valid reasons for doing so. I apologize if I offended you. 🙂
