I believe it was meant as an insult. But that won't get him anywhere either. 😉

It seems we've lost momentum creating a dead-thread tournament, so I'm going to make a management decision and announce of.

I've decided to do a Swiss System, which means I'll have to run it outside of normal RHP tournaments. Look for an announcement soon, and in the Tournaments forum.

Please announce the announcement here, I seldom visit the Tournament forum.

By the way, nice move number (it may have changed now).

I'll put the same post both places. Heck, maybe I'll post it in all the forums ...

It wasn't intended as an insult. Neither was it intended as flattery. More an attempt at humor....being an engineer and a former mensan, my sense of humor is somewhat obscure at times.

I understood it as an attempt of humour and thought it was funny (at least somewhat 😉), but I may still have understood something different than you intended.

Huh? I can see it just fine... But my own had disappeared for a moment...

Well, you don't look old in your photo. Hard to tell about the hag part, since it's not a terribly informative photo, but that doesn't appear to be the case either....

Mine seems to have disappeared completely. Try refreshing your browser and see if it's still there.

I see what happened. I was using a second-hand reference from google to the image file. The original was updated, and I guess google lost the connection. Not really sure there, but now I've referenced it directly and I think it's working OK. Of course, they've added a drip to the faucet, and I'm not sure I like that....

I am still older than most people here. The reason why I interpreted it as a (humorous) insult was that pointing out that I am not old, but not saying anything about the hag part, could be read to imply that the latter was correct. The truth, of course, is that my hagginess makes up for the lack of age.

Hm, I could still see it after I had updated the page.

A dripping faucet doesn't go very well together with your user name. You better fix the problem.

Now how do you know you're older than most people here?

The attempt at humor was to leave the hag question "inadvertently" open, without actually implying anything. Of course, it would be quite easy to draw a different conclusion....😀
