Thank You first of all for once again misquoting me as one can not expect
you to
properly quote matters nor to state them. Nor generally can we expect
anything more than your biased
one-sided optimistic approach in favor of the status quo you and the Sam
Sloans of this world spin the numbers for (we can wonder how it benefit$$$
you!).

The truth of the matter is that the recent "victorious candidiates for the
US chess federation received LESS VOTES THAN 5% OF THE TOTAL MEMBERSHIP
APPROVE THEM (if not please sue me or give your mouth and pen a rest) even
though you insist on treating foreign and currently under 16 year members as
second class citizen chattel for the benefit of the privileged group elite
group of commercial profiteers you shamefully vocally represent.

The fact that many groups do just as badly does not mean any of them do well
and that:
the Turnout "demonstrated the unmoving nature of any of the USCF factions'
leadership"
Nor because you're "been involved in a number of membership organizations"
does that qualify you as any sort of expert so as to be qualified to say on
face value "that nearly 14% of of those eligible to vote did so. *** and
"it is seldom the case that over 10% of the membership votes" when you again
provide nothing else except unqualified conjecture.
