Subject: Apologies to CCC

I came home last night from an out-of-town board meeting and was surprised to
receive this message:

starting a generic fischer thread?  many, more appropriate places to discuss
Fischer?

As one of only two (or at least very few) people I know who are the links of
Bobby Fischer to the outside world, I had thought the members of the CCC would
be interested in my announcement, which did not contain any comments or sidebars
or anything - just that the newest fischer interview has been posted on my
website.  THIS IS NOT SECOND-HAND INFORMATION - the post was done in real audio
format from a tape send to me by the radio station which did the interview and
the publicizing was authorized by Fischer himself.

My announcement was also in response to the many messages I get a day as to when
the next Fischer interview will be posted.

come to think of it - there are two kinds of people on CCC - computer guys who
dabble in chess, and chess guys who dabble in computers.  Mr. Gomboc is probably
one of the former, whereas the announcement was targetted for more of the
latter.  Maybe I should understand why he doesn't understand.

You know what?  I have done a lot more for chess (and Philippine chess in
particular) than 50% of the people on CCC and maybe 50% of the moderators (I am
guessing, of course, and may be wrong) and had thought that I'd get a little bit
more respect.
