| I do understand that ratings can be corrected Kevin. I also understand
that your rating was not corrected and that your son's rating was not
corrected.
I know that a rhetorical question is still a question Kevin. I can
also tell when they are not answers. I also know that when you tell me
that I am not asking the right question, the odds that I am going to
get a straight answer in any forum are somewhere between slim and none.
Could you please explain how you are protecting any person other than
yourself when you refuse to reveal how many games short of the Life
Master title you thought you were prior to the submission of the bogus
tournaments?
Could you please explain how you are protecting any person other than
yourself when you refuse to reveal how you became aware that your Life
Master title was tainted?

Could you please explain how you are protecting any person other than
yourself when you refuse to reveal when you surrendered your Life
Master title and rating floor?
Why do you think it was impossible to estimate the effect of the bogus
events on ratings? Didn't your players retain their scoresheets from
legitimate events? Did your players note their opponents' ratings on
those scoresheets? If they did not, couldn't you have gone to the
historical ratings on the USCF website to get a reasonable estimate of
the opponents' ratings at the time of the event? Couldn't you have
plugged those numbers into the ratings calculator to obtain an estimate
of what the players' ratings would have been without the impact of the
bogus events? Wasn't this possible Kevin?
