Originally posted by Indonesia PhilThanks, though "luck" is at best a distant cousin to success. Success with any endeavor within any realm requires resourcefulness, patience and tranquility of soul. Otherwise, pressures and disappointments become internalized as emotional stress which causes the rational decision process to become dysfunctional. Grace under pressure succeeds.
I think perhaps I'll just stick to playing chess after all, and make do wiith the forums; thanks anyway and good luck! Phil.

I'm a realist who accepts its presence. In the OT Gideon learned that unfocused, self preoccupied soldiers aren't worth having. As did the United States Marines. Ship's Motto: "Not without strenuous effort". I, for one, am willing to make it on behalf of the best interests of others. Are you with me or not? -gb

Why don't you start the club and find out. Or will that mean the end of your GF self indulgence?

"No club exists or is listed on this site until its prospective "Admin" decides there's sufficient interest to justify the initial effort and longer term responsibility. Last count we have 1[8] bona fide members but, in my estimation, need [30] to start. You're entitled to "suspect" whatever you wish. Should additional questions occur to you, please feel free to raise them. -Bobby" (first posted on page 6, six pages ago)
It's a long distance run not a sprint. Rest easy in the harness. We'll be fine. If you and/or your own friends have issues with this club, don't become timid or bashful. Start your own. Please stop fouling the nest in the meanwhile. Thank you," (previous page 11)

The decision was taken with care; it remains firm. No worries. We'll be ready in due time.
Our prospective member total decreased by one (1) earlier today. People tend to be fickle and lose their resolve when facing into new opportunities. I have zero doubt that there will be more disappointing attrition along the way. (gb)
