Nice!! :-) I got an Elvis CD for X'mas, and immediately thought of you. Dec-29-11    playground player: <OCF Chess Forum> back by popular demand!

Peace, Love, Happy 2012! Please stay. Jan-03-12    OhioChessFan: Happy New Year's everyone. Jesus is Lord of 2012. Jan-04-12    WannaBe: Happy New Year to you too, buddy, apologies on the boo-boo in the Caissar. Jan-05-12    morfishine: Good afternoon <OhioChessFan>! Thank you for nominating me. It means a lot. Better to build something with good intentions, than destroy something with malice. I hope the New Year is treating you well. Best, Morf Jan-05-12    OhioChessFan: I think a lot of the problem is there's a bit of a limitation in the categories, but I don't know how to address it. Let me toss out some names that really are All Stars on this site in one way or another, but always seem overlooked by the Caissars: acirce, RayKeene, EricSchiller, chancho, chessmoron........I'll stop there. I could list a boatload more. I don't know. I guess the reward is in the doing. Jan-05-12    WannaBe: <acirce> was a long time nominee and winner(s) in the Best Informed category 2004-2007. <IMlday> won Best Post in 2004. Not sure why <raykeene> and <ericschiller> never won anything, think I remember them being nominated. But it is hard for GM/IMs to get nomination, since they are taken for granted. Examples of today maybe Ms. Dembo, and Ms. Pogonia. Susan Polgar have returned to posting again, but definitely not as often as before, when she was good for 3 or 4 posts a day. Samething with <acirce>, I just checked his profile, last post was Dec. 29, and before that was Dec. 24th. One would think with people posting left and right on K. Rogoff page, he would have made camp there and be posting (about) every thing under the sun. Jan-06-12    Benzol: <OhioChessFan> <You know, <matebay> there are ways to air your grievances that are honorable. There are ways to air your grievances that are acceptable. There are ways to air your grievances that are tolerable. And then there are ways to air your grievances that are so annoying and childish you lose the support of people who'd otherwise be in general agreement with your original grievance. Please, knock it off. It's not funny. And if you want to ruin what is an otherwise entertaining few weeks for a lot of people to satisfy your own something or another, that says far more about you than you realize.> <OhioChessFan> It seems that <matebay> is intent on making a complete prat out of himself. You can't tell some people. However, good on you for trying anyway. :) Jan-06-12    YouRang: I noticed you nominated me for "most helpful" in the Caissars. That was nice of you, especially considering that I know you disagree with me on a number of issues. Thanks for that. :-) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 363) < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 279 OF 363 ·  Later Kibitzing>		Deep Fritz 13
