<The Wedge> Interesting, thank you. I have a "Norwegian Blue" brand cat, and I couldn't understand the noises she was making.

I see you've been kicking bottom on the apparently defunct Dismembered Whining Forum. Let's hope they can break through to the editors on the beach.

I tried public service announcements early on but, perhaps, gave up too early. Let's see if sterner stuff will make a difference.

<Tim> Well there might be time for someone to make a good <Keres> bio. Like I said though, <Daniel> didn't direct any of the biographers. That wasn't part of the program. I doubt he could have directed biographers without paying them, to be honest.

At any rate, we don't know what the next webmaster will look like, if there is indeed ever a next webmaster.

If it all ended here tomorrow, and it still might- then the bio of <Paul Keres> might have to be satisfied with saying

Then I realize, it ain't him!>

Hmmm. If you were a Brit, I might just think that you are <Lord Ramsbottom>!! There was a character!!

<Wedgemore>? <Ramsbottom>?

Oh hai <The Focus> Thanks for calling me out on the hypocrisy of my position today.

I hadn't even noticed the contradiction between my main rant and then cautioning people to work on the <So> bio before we know what the new <webmaster policy> might be.

I don't actually have any "nuts" myself, but I certainly know what you meant.

As usual, if I had waited until my anger subsided before posting, I might have actually posted something other than a hissy fit that ended up contradicting itself.

At any rate I appreciate you chiming in on the issue of <So biography> and supporting the cause of academic integrity at this website.

I'm feeling pessimistic about cg.com future again. Who would even want to be a webmaster here?

<TheFocus> If you take up the "fly of Tab" this would really stir up the pot.

As I said, I've done the same exact thing. Responded before reading the complete thread. It happens, and we are all human.

I would have, if he had asked. I thought that maybe my style wasn't his cup of tea.

"I was unlucky. Like my website.">

hahaha -- best laugh of a dreary day -- cheers, thanks a lot

<Big Pawn> I agree. You know who else is really strong on the "old days" chess history is <john barleycorn>.

<Errr, are you talking about a premium membership to a men's club?>

<Big> Thanks for the Simpson's Canada references! They are funny, but I prefer the South Park Canada references. They are more savage and more accurate.

It's actually true that every Canadian says "aboot" and "eh?", and it's also true that Canada has only one of everything: "Canada Court House" "Canada Hockey Rink" and such.

I actually thought of you when posted that because I know that is one of your favorite quotes- I heard it first from you.

Btw, you should hear "cheers, thanks a lot" in Joanna Lumley's voice.

Not to belittle Boomie's efforts to overcome inertia on Keres' bio, I must admit I do hear Helen Lovejoy saying, "Oh, won't somebody please think of the bios?"

I do know <I> don't have the source material or the time to tackle a major rewrite. Any editor (you, I, others) could make modest changes in cases of errors or omissions, but I don't think minor improvements are what are envisioned.
