I indicated that Brady's letter was full of errors, and we had a lengthy
newsgroup discussion of it -- you might remember that you didn't remember
it, even though you posted nearly 10% of it. Here are errors:
"...there should be a lengthy and informed report on the most serious matter
ever to confront the USCF: the proposed move to Crossville."
Let's see, just a few short months ago the USCF was on the verge of
bankruptcy, seriously concerned about being able to make payroll and sitting
on bills to maintain cashflow. The USCF had had 8 consecutive years of
deficits. There isn't anybody with any financial credibility who could
possibly suggest that the proposed move to Crossville is the most seroius
matter ever to confront the USCF.
"The offer of five years free rent in Liberty, New York, with an option to
buy (at an agreed-upon price) after that, seems like a dream come true."
There was no offer of five years free rent in Liberty with an option to buy
after that. It was suggested that this might come about with more time to
make a deal, but it is a significant error to take this possibility as a
fact or even a probability.
"I have heard that we received no responses to the full-page ad that we ran
in Chess Life for a new ED."
As you know, this is incorrect, and, as we both have noted, several of the
candidates are very promising.
I also think referring to the "fragile" state of the USCF finances is
erroneous and has been shown by the latest financial statements to be far
from the mark, but what's the point in piling on?
