STOP SUPPORTING USCF

| It is pretty obvious that the USCF is being looted by a bunch of
unscrupulous scumbags with more of them trying to get their foot in the door
I honestly believe that the best thing everyone could do is to STOP
SUPPORTING THE USCF and let it die.
Let all these vultures finish robbing the grave, and when it is all
destroyed, perhaps some honest people will get involved. Once the money is
gone, Betty Boop, Goichberg, Hanke, and the rest will all climb into the
rafters to avoid responsibility, creditors, lawsuits, and criminal
investigations.
Start a new USCF with decent honest people who are interested in CHESS, not
back-stabbing and stealing.

| Fred,
while you have a point, What must us "mortals" do without the USCF. All
tournaments I have attended require USCF membership, before you can attend.
Also, who keeps the ELO scores, if not USCF. While I favor your stance, if
SPAM SAM is to believed...but seeing other postings, the board seems to have
little to do with day to day operations. If that charter has been expanded,
then that may be cause for concern.
I few model aircraft, and many people did not like the "Academy of Model
Aerodynamics" (Model Aircraft Interest Group). But they carried insurance
(secondary) for flying, and the published magazine (which was not vary
good). Anyways, another group "Sport Flyers" tried to make a go of
it...basic membership, insurance...gave AMA a run for their money, but soon
faded.
The bottom line is: Who will take up the fight, if we let USCF die.
Someone must come along, with money, talent, visiion and support to oversee
the following.
