I remember how people posted how boring >the games were here even, a forum where not too many real chessplayers >are (mostly nerds who don't even know how many zero's are behind >a million as they go claim things about the number of zero's following >the dot being unsure). > Just a wild guess... 6 zeros after the 1.... two zeros behind the dot to make 1,000,000.00? I would hate to be wrong and classified as "nerd". Vincent was it absolutely required to insult half the forum to make a point? And just one other point... a "nerd" would know how many zeros are behind the one to make a million. Usually "nerds" are pretty good at math. When I was in high school, the guidance teacher gave a lecture on the topic of "bullying". She stated that most "bullies" throw insults at people regarding their intelligence, physical appearance, speech, or whatever would hurt someone only due to their own lack of self-esteem in those areas. As we have all scene your math lacks a certain accuracy most times, and the need to cut people down when they prove you wrong or do something you can not. Vincent.. are you a bully? Do you lack self-esteem? Is that the problem? Most times I actually feel sorry for you Vincent. Your a grown man that still acts like a child 99% of the time. Oops.. I just became you.. a bully...
