Are you kidding or just having a bad day? Many roads lead to Rome, Bruce has chosen the diplomatic way, no need to call him names. You have no idea what happens in private email (things you don't know about). Fact is (I can safely say this now) the ICCA (finally) is changing. I have noticed this the first time in London with the tournament director Jaap v/d Herik. Jaap listened to all the suggestions of the programmers, gave us a say in almost everything. I was very pleased with this new tendency. As in this case the ICCA made a terrible mistake. But now they have corrected things also something new for me. No more arrogance, very good! Let's give the ICCA another chance. >Now, as to his ability as a moderator -- >He keeps getting re-elected by accident. He has no ability in this department >either. Morally weak, ideologically weak, I pity the poor man. If it was me I would have given you a yellow card for this. Ed >What we need is some sort of intellectual and moral giant.
