Viz, <How Not to Play Chess> by Znosko-Borovsky, and <How Not to Write a Novel> by Newman and Mittelmark. Examples of people doing stuff badly being much funnier than examples of people doing stuff well -- which, in any case, you don't need a special how-to book for. Just check out a GM game or a decent novel.

<Though it seemed as if Jason had ever been among the ones favored if ever there was one, no.>

Which reminds me: I found a beautiful line of accidental poetry on a news website following Ghaddafi's death. Some - possibly African - person who had been one of his fans wrote:

*Africa's champion is death*.

I even, at the time, gave the first Nightmare movie a glowing review, because it didn't blatantly signal shifts between dreamtime and 'real' time, like other moves did.

That's Claw Spamming? It's like being told that C. Spamming was the bad guy in Casablanca. Or a star from the silent era.

<"My uncle, Der Spieler, will *kill* you for this" hissed Miss Mabuse.>

Claw Spamming, features contorted in a mask of terror, turns to flee.

Suddenly, a giant roulette wheel cuts him in two.

Relax big fella it's not as bad as all that. Actually, of all 20,000 previous forum titles, I thought <Antarctica> was most appropriate.

End of Frogspawn (as) We Know it. (4)

Take the end of each word, it spells N - E - W - T.

With all due Respekt for Mr. Binman, it can‘t be done:

<Brent Inman
Number of games in database: 6
Years covered: 1989 to 2010
Highest rating achieved in database: 2146
Overall record: +0 -6 =0 (0.0%)*

Overall record: A J Goldsby beat Brent Inman 5 to 0.*>

Which is the end of frogspawn, kinda.>

I normally welcome excavations of all kinds, but I don't want the Goldsby war in this forum.

What I don't appreciate is for someone to drag the flame-ware in here. ---> Its just plain wrong.

Of course, it's ancient lore that annoying and irritating folk is the troll's greatest desire, and they should on no account be fed, etc. But that idiot lemming is really starting to piss me off.

A friend of mine - who practically lives on YT - I asked him about JFQ's (completely false) claim that no one polices that site. (He is not really a chess player, he used to live next door to me when I lived in the "Sun-Runner" complex, I moved from there in 2007.)

His opinion is there there is a "Gestapo" over there, (his words, not mine); and he cited several examples of things that get routinely pulled on "You-Tube."

#1.) Anything pornographic.

#2.) Anything with just about any kind of nudity.

#3.) ANY trailers for up-coming movies.

#4.) Any (current? i personally have seen a lot of older stuff) vids (MUSIC VIDEO's) for artists that have just been recently released.

#5.) Graphic violence often gets pulled ... even if its just a scene from a movie.

#6.) Even political debates have been pulled, apparently, you need permission to post those as well.

I could give you dozens of links, (my friend claims to have like 50 uploads pulled - and he has a list); but just one should suffice.

If somebody has an opinion you disagree with - even regarding a matter of fact - it may be an honest mistake, a different perspective, etc.

#6.) Even political debates have been pulled> Pornography gets flagged as unwanted activity or put under the Adult label and those under 21 age are restricted to views

Trailers for upcoming movies, there are dozens of Trailers for upcoming movies on the YouTube site

Music videos often have content that WMG flag as being copyright, videos get pulled or prevented from viewing from Certain countries

Political debates, there are many there on the site, some get pulled as being Copyrighted, rest of are continued to be chatted at comments section
