Can any one explain why whenever i send an email to Bbarr or post to
him Schliemann answers?
Maybe it is one of the following
1) They are the same person ( I doubt it)
2) They are extremely "close" friends (possibly)
3) Schliemann is a ventriloquist! (although where he puts his hand
would make an interesting post in its own right)
any other suggestions? answers on a postcard

Very astute, Schliemann and I are not the same person. I didn't know
Chessbase sold 'determine identity' software. And you've never
emailed, because invariably when someone attempts to email me
from RHP their message is returned and I see a note in my inbox
telling me my filters rejected an unsolicited mail. I've had my filters
down the last couple days, and still there has been nothing in my
inbox from you. You are, as usual, ridiculous.
Since by all claims, Bbarr and I live in the same city and attend the
same university (well, my lab is a few miles from the main campus),
and I know where he works, I am willing to confirm his existence by
going to his place of work, drinking heavily, and verifying his corporeal
existence by a method mutually agreeable to you, Bennett, and
myself. (For instance, you and I may agree that poking Bennett with a
stick is an acceptable, even enjoyable, method of confirming his
existence, yet Bennett may disagree. Similarly, you and Bennett may
agree that letting him punch me in the nose would confirm his
existence in a manner both of you find entertaining, but I would find
that unpleasant and unacceptable).
I have met and can therefore assert that Dave, aka Schliemann,
exists in a corporeal form recognizable by standard detection
methods, and that he does have many chess books. He also looks
much like his photo, although when I met him he had slightly
more...um...burnt...eyebrows than the photo reveals. (Remember
THAT, Dave?)
And I do realize what evidence I can offer will not constitute proof. For
instance, it is possible that Bbarr is a creation of Dave, and that Dave
will hire and deploy an actor to play the part of Bennett. Such things
are within the realm of possibility.
Of course, your accepting any of this is contigent upon your accepting
my existence, something I cannot prove to you. I realize it is very
difficult for people to accept that a primate, a "mere monkey" if you
will, CAN type and play chess. Granted my typing is not
Shakespearean, nor my chess Marshallian.
