recently i have become alarmed with the number of mikes on rhp.
i propose that anyone who wishes to volunteer their first name, do so on this thread. i will take it upon myself to tabulate the results. it should prove to be very interesting the sort of distribution we acquire from chess players.
please do not lie about your name and if you have more than one first name choose your favorite. also, don't enter your name repeatedly in desparate hopes of impressing anyone.

ps so i don't lose track, i will start the count from zeero for all names, so even if i know your first name, i will not count it unless you post here.

select first_name, count(first_name)
from players
group by first_name
order by 2 desc

that's a goudidea!
though we wouldn't get the forum people only - which is what i would find most interesting.

I'd be pretty upset if Russ was to give my name out in the forums. I'm not all about sharing my personal info.
P-
if russ did it, then no one would know because all you'd get is the frequency a name appears - no one would know the rhp_nick that the name belongs to.
your point is a very good one though, because many people wouldn't want to give out their names, so they won't post it here.

Cool Beans! It's not easy being a secret agent for SPECTER. (Ooops!)
