Observations From 35,000 Feet

Observations From 35,000 Feet



Past weekend in the TN Valley was instructive. Reflecting on my brief (unauthorized) foray into the RHP Public Forums, this much is clear:

(1) The general forum reminds me of a sandwich shop. Modestly rated players often provide informed, insightful and entertaining posts.

Highly rated members often contribute little more than mean spirited invective, unashamedy touting their own well practised cleverness.

The general forum is usually avoided by the wisest members of all. (2) So much for the bread. With rare exception, what passes as meat

is frequently little more than warmed over ersatz or a reconstituted juvenile pablum. Quality conversation and worthwhile entertainment

are the exception rather than the rule. There's a good reason why. Pedestrian fare accomodates the acquired tastes of the daily lunch

counter crowd. (3) Chess Only Forum represents the real deal dining room. You're always guaranteed a well prepared, nourishing, complete

meal. (4) Balance of the forums resemble specialized cafeteria style buffets. One exception is Announcements, which dispenses timely

information pills to all in need. Absolute freedom of choice is one of many nice things about the way Russ & Chris have designed the site.

GB said I could do two more threads between Labor Day and yearend. Cashing in my Thanksgiving Chip today. See you around Christmas.

A scone without reason, please. And a cup of tea, milk, no sugar, no Earl Grey.

I'll have a ham and cheese. Some happy pills for Wormwood if there are any in the canteen.

They're not lobotomizing scones until next Spring. Maybe you'd like something else?

How 'bout some Earl Gray? I thinks it's a "knockoff" from China.
