Phil,
WRONG. As pointed out to you ad nauseam. Were you dropped on your head when
young? Exactly what is your problem?

WRONG. I never heard of Kalev Pehme till shortly before he was appointed.
Phil, when you don't know what you are talking about, you should just shut
up.
It would be a full-time job monitoring this newsgroup and correcting the
gross errors of fact, logic, and judgment continually posted here by Sam
Sloan, you, and others. I don't have enough time to read all the wrongheaded
posts and keep correcting the record. I'm too busy doing things in the real
world.

| Seems like there have been some figures quoted in the past about how many CL
subs don't even play 1 rated game a year.
Wonder how many of the life members play rated chess. I for one am a life
member but have not played rated chess for years.
I am one who likes chess history and in fact right a 50 years ago column from
the pages of Washington Chess Letter for Northwest Chess each month.

The important question is how that number compares
to the number of chess players who aren't members
of the USCF either because they specifically dislike
the magazine, or because the organization's obsession
with the magazine has made it completely ineffective
as an advocate for chess?

Does the statement of Timothy Hanke contradict the
statement of Phil Innes?
"After two long conversations with Kalev, I
feel Kalev is the man we need for the job."

Tim, when you get the answer to these questions, please let the
posters at hlas know. We are still trying to understand, or "campel"
in the "British language" Phil Innes speaks, what is wrong with the
man.

I certainly agree with you on this one. Kalev Pehme is without doubt
the most widely disliked editor of Chess Life in the 48 years that I
have been a USCF member. He should be gotten rid of.

Even more so than Parr or that last guy who was always was two weeks late?

_
Phil Innes did not write "knew Pehme and put him up
for the editor's job". I agree that some might get
the wrong impression from what Phil Innes did write,
but it seems to me that there is also that potential
with the Timothy Hanke response that said nothing
about the two long conversations that resulted in
Timothy Hanke deciding that Kalev Pehme was the man
we needed for the job.

At the time (2003-08-30 10:33:15 PST), Timothy Hanke
described Kalev Pehme as "the leading candidate to
become Chess Life editor".
