I didn't get where I am today by ignoring your advice.

Since I have already posted the facts as proven to date here in my forum, I welcome you sleeping for one (1) month before advising further.

I will also sleep for one (1) month and await your post-sleep advice. If I end up asking our webmaster how and why that post was deleted, a draft of inquiry from you would be welcome- similar to the respectful, but clear "request for an examination of any proposed changes to our WCC drafts" letter you posted for us a few months ago in the <WCC Project> forum.

Ok I'll see you in one month.

I'm assuming that was <Beyonce's> "old style."

I wonder if she has augmented her course of heinous chemicals and plastic surgery with 30,000 viewings of "My Fair Lady"-

I am terribly sorry to hear of your new forced schedule and sleep problems. That's a serious problem and I know about it first hand. I do have a rare "tip" to offer.

I too don't like the idea of sleeping pills. But do you know Benadryl? It's just an antihistamine, and has a low impact on your liver and other internal friends. It's also non-addictive and so forth.

My Mom told me about it- when she worked as a nurse, they used it to sedate crazy people who came into the emergency room.

"50 CCs BENDRYL! STAT!"

The doctors would cry. And within minutes the hysterical people were asleep.

At any rate I had some success with a 25mg. tablet of Benadryl. About 40 minutes after I take it I do feel very drowsy and it has helped me sleep. The best part is that there is no hangover in the morning either.

Anyways I use it from time to time.

I vote <applause for a well done kibitz while under physical duress>. I almost died laughing.

You being <right> on that issue counts for more than something. It counts for everything.

We shall reconvene on this in a month, you and I, and discuss it further.

It's a good job then that your doctor isn't Timothy Leary, or Frankenstein, for that matter.

As for me and meds, I can report for a change that "looks like I picked a *good* week to quit drinking, LSD, and sniffing glue."

<Semper paratus> and all that.

I do not know anything useful to tell you about the new player you discovered, <Serafino di Felicitations>, if I'm not mistaken. I think I got his name right but I'm on the tiny "work computer screen" and I can't be arsed to do all that scrolling to see the proper spelling of his name that you posted above.

I know what you mean about chess historians. I'm happy to report that the crew here is better than at other websites, such as <Chess Banter>, which you may know by its more popular title <Taylor Kingston vs. The World>.

I should point out that <Taylor> "wins" every argument because he actually supplies sourced facts. And yet the argument never ends. Curious, eh?

Do you know about "propeitary reeding"?

This is the phenomenon that people who read a fact in a book start thinking they "own the fact" and when they post the fact, they feel a Propriottary interest in that fact being "correct" whether it's actually correct or not.

I've had to train myself to stop doing it, but, sadly, no luck so far.

Something to do with ego and ownership, I should imagine, but I'm not a clinical psychologist.

You haven't joined the <Clinical Psychologists>, you've joined the <Coast Guard>, a very similar organization.

I do it all the time in an effort to fall asleep.

Protip: It might seem that your "favorite song" is the best choice, but in fact it just keeps you up enjoying the song.

Clinical psychologists are at the bottom of the psychological barrel. I'd rather be guarding the coast. At least I'd be near the water.
