"And so they stood on the walls of the City of Gondor, and a great wind rose and blew, and their hair, raven and golden, streamed out mingling in the air. And the Shadow departed, and the Sun was unveiled, and light leaped forth; and the waters of Anduin shone like silver, and in all the houses of the City men sang for the joy that welled up in their hearts from what source they could not tell."

Sorry that I answered the way that I did up there in the second post.

Sometimes I skip a few steps and don't "show my work" (as some math teachers have scolded me in my youth).

I don't think any kind of "hazing" should be part of welcoming someone who wants to post in General, but we do have some characters here, some of them perhaps self-important because of their sit ...[text shortened]... ffense.

Executive summary: the appearance of hazing might be inadvertent, but no less deplorable.

Just curious; why would you want to hide the fact you are on-line and making moves by turning it off?

There are three ways to tell if I’m ‘online’

1) I make a post
2) I make a chess move
3) My rating goes down a few points
