However if you >remember back only a weak ago it was the trigger for the "Stop the lunacy" >thread. The "Stop the lunacy" thread was one you started....BTW is lunacy a real word, anyway you were not specific in that post....i quote. Post #80157 "In the last 3 days i have seen at leaset 6 posts trying to make out that the progs were barely USCF master strength! There is no mere master in the united states that could dream of beating sherbakov with money on the line, or beat the lithuanian national team, or beat Gelfand in a 40/2 it does not happen! Yeah people are entitled to their opinions but i think there are limits come on." I tried in vain to find the other (least 6) posts where people referred to programs as BARELY USCF master strength but could not. Thanks.
