No, that doesn't make sense, I just felt like saying it.

If you're serious, then you completely missed the point of my post. Do you really think I seriously meant that my subscribing was a blow to Canada?
I'd suggest that you use a little of that hard work in treating others with respect, and devote it to not being rude to people who are joking around on the forum.
If you're joking, then you need to indicate better that you're stating something that's tongue-in-cheek.

OK you lot - that is five post and nothing at all mentioned about chess.
Off you go to the Spirituality Forum and tell them how sorry you are.
Paul Charles Morphy was a Chess Genius.
( I mentioned chess so I can stay here).
So we have to wait about 90 years more in order to enjoy the next American World Chess Champion (and 645.987 years to see a Greek)

I 'm an insufferable ignorant dolt! Before my heavy bike crash in '96 I would remember allright the magnificent string Steinitz-Lasker-Capa-Alekhine-Euwe-Botvinnik-Smyslov-Tal-Petrosian-Spassky-Fischer-Karpov-Kasparov. And then along came Kramnik & Anand Corp.
Oh you mean Vlad my dear FL??

Edit - Although he wasn't actually a U.S. citizen when he won the 1886 match, he became a citizen in 1888. Close enough, I guess, since he still had his title in 1888.
Hmm, three U.S. world champions in chess, and three nut cases. Just a coincidence, I'm sure. 😞
