Thanks Sam for the public recognition of the issues but your responsa didn't go far enough and was grossly lacking and it was no surprise that you once again trivalize and cater to criminality drawn to your attention as you punish it with barely a light slap on the wrist.
Firstly why do you answer the telephone at 2:30am if you don't want to clearly you don't have to and we as the public should not have to remember weither or not you have voice mail, an answering machine or whatever as the society has become a 24 hour a day insane asylum dominated by the ill conceived corporate mentalities that have infected the USCF with their nonsense .....
Must will always think of you and the other flunky insiders as not being capable of working in the USCF's interests 24/7?
Born in the USA where bible toting fanatics and fiscal conservative can decry on one hand the virtues of corporate culture, the free economy, advance their monolopistic practices, based on the bottom line of raw profits are the economics of a decadent souless society, claiming that they are time and time again against the very abuses they perpetuate .......
ie use of eminent domain because it threatens their financial interests and churchs but in reality that is the every day practice that economy is based on the bottom line where the profit line pushs the popular interests aside without question and perpetuates a criminal culture that has seen the largest of corporation penalized time and time again for anti-social profiteering and gasoline prices go up and down as they were designed to when 30 years ago in earlier crises of OPEC gas gouging etc and the issue of private interest vs public transportation held sway over common sense.
Break the sentences into whatever fragments that you like and punctuate it as you wish because it is a question of substance not form.
Whereas in many other countries regarding even natural disasters the governing administrations pay for their ineptitude, stupidity and corruption by beening deposed evicted beheaded or overthrown such as in Bangladesh where the flooding served as the spark the lead to its separation from Pakistan, and often in many cultures such fiascos lead to the government stepping down. Here in the USA and the USCF we relect e-elect crooks when is actuality there seems no distinction between one crook and the other.
Where I exeplified the matter so as to illustrate the issues you personalixed them so as to suggest they merely affected me when the issue I ellaborated on actuality seriously affects people in a broader sense as there are many people in the same position who in regard the USCF EB leadership and structure has failed and wasted its capital of good.
When there is widespread discontent amongst USCF members it is interesting to not that you failed to get elected for some unknown reason that you perhaps fail to grasp, and for which I suggest you have failed, failed miserably as though you raised issued you did not expound on them well nor galvanized opposition which is not represented by the perpetual flood of insiders inclusive of the the present administration of the USCF.
If you were so inclined with your expertise, and contacts with in the USCF you could have worked with other to form an opposition but no you wanted to work alone and so you fail in garnering that support and in fact perhaps will never garner that support simply because you fail to understand the nuances of that support.
As far at this point and far as I am concerned I wou;dn't need much encouragement to file criminal charges against the entire leadership of the USCF for though they accuse you of predilections toward sexual matters that they then slight and slander as improper, they in reality either steal, partake in cronyism, or simply in abrogation of duty negligently fail to perform as they are required to diligently exercise the duties they have promised to execute as stated, and that they would they are no better than common criminals.
Simply it is easy to see how Hanke should of been court martialed for the improprieties he was accused of, but seems to have been protected from much like the criminal English I Abu Ghraib scandal as she too merely got slapped on the wrist for her abuse of authority.
Don Schultz is non ignorant, Beatriz Marinello is not an idiot, Bill Goichberg is not stupid, neither you SAM and the rest of those foisted into nation leadership positions from their involvement they worked to get there but betray those positions by inappropiately acting as it is not merely criminal to rob a bank but criminal to help faciliate robbing or stealing from a bank.
When are these people going to make up for what was done? What are they going to really do? Are they going to act and then once again say "all's well in good", and "the past is the past", "we weren't repsonsible for what those other did",
WHEN IN ACTUALITY THEY ALL SHOULD BE put on trial be found guilty and hung as the good for nothing horse theives they are, and lacking in not having honor even amongst their own kind.
The widely publicized case of Maxim Dlugy:
"Maxim Dlugy, a top American GM in the 80's and former president of the USCF (90-93), has been arrested in Russia on a warrant regarding an embezzlement case and an investment fund he used to represent."
Represents an example of the criminality the overtook the USSR and Russia that found expression here though the surrogate host of the USCF (much like FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinovn did in FIDE) that side by side mirrored to misappropiation of funds allocated for public purposes towards private goals and profit. Much like the money allocated as a result of the Katrina disaster (that amount to over $55,000 per every man woman and child there [though that money is given oridary folks] but the cronies associated with the George W Bushwack stautus quo corporate culture.
Why do they ask us to be fiscally conservative and responsible? So they can steal more and then excuse it by saying there was no money allocated in the first place.
Like I said put them on trial find them guilty and hang them as horse thieves.
Congratulations for the the respect, trust, and admiration I had for the USCF, and its leadership in 1999-2001 ( when I became a member) has been erroded away and turned to sour milk that should be thorn in their faces.
Congratulations USCF my nephew is a severely disabled kid who was born with serious birth defects, and my half sister is a promising student where are the 9 issues of School Mates they were promised when I bought and paid for their scholastic memberships? in that yoiu stole them. You make me sick and akin to children molesters in that you stole from kids.

Andrew Zito called me at 2:20 AM this morning to wake up me and my
wife and baby with this complaint.
He said that he forgot that I was in New York, not California.
However, he has a valid complaint, which is that US ChessLive was
advertised as a service by the USCF.
As far as I know, the USCF has no further connection with US ChessLive
and nowadays US ChessLive is owned entirely by Games Parlor.
Zito says that he purchased a multi-year membership in US ChessLive
relying on the belief that it was owned and regulated by the USCF.
Apparently, Zito wants his money back.
Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it except admit that
he has a valid complaint.
We can and should however change the USCF website to show that the
USCF no longer has any connection with US ChessLive and we should
demand that Games Parlor make similar changes on their websites.
