LOL okay I should have checked before clicking Post Reply. Your post wasn’t there when I started typing.

Are you talking about “irrational exuberance” Greenspan? His official comments made clear he took account of the stock market. So much so that he was accused of “jawboning” the stock market at one of the annual reports to Congress and he got very defensive. After that incident he seemed to care...

Didn’t have an account at Muriel Seibert. Wanted to avoid paying full service commissions. Kennedy, Cabot & Co. for me.

I agree it’s some funny shit. The guy gets a hard on at the thought of arguing about religion. He’s more pathetic than a Jesus freak.

It’s a small remedy but it’s available. The warning was more for me than for you. I want to be 100% certain that you don’t respect requested boundaries. I already knew you wouldn’t. There is absolutely nothing in any of my posts that would benefit you. You won’t miss anything. For me it will...

You assume too much. I’m not on any side including yours. Go find someone else to argue about God. This is my last warning. Move along.

Your nihilism is cute. You weren’t born with that thinking. You learned it from other minds and accepted it as your truth. It makes me wonder if you think your life is no better than a worm’s. In any case, believe whatever gets you through the day. I’m not here to proselytize. Now move along.

You keep repeating that your mind is fucked beyond repair. Your history on this site doesn’t paint a pretty picture. I would tell you the same thing I told the other poster—see if you can fulfill some of your potential as a human being—but you insist on failure. You exude failure. Any idiot...

You are not a grain of sand. You are a human being. See if you can fulfill some of your potential. Go outside and make some friends. Jesus.

A lot of things. For one, my thoughts get organized and new connections are made that I sometimes become immediately aware of when I awake. A lot of aha’s have come to me after a good night’s sleep.

I’m awake more hours than I’m asleep. What’s your point?

He died unexpectedly and I knew the man. It’s just a personal reminder to not take my time for granted. Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the minutiae and overlook the bigger things in life. A common thread can be found in seemingly random events. My post is just another irrelevant post...

Another funeral to attend. This will be my third in the last three years, all in the local chess community. When I see the outpouring of genuine love that family and friends have for the deceased, it once again gives me perspective on the true riches in life. We all knew him as “Sandy” at the...

My guess is the average chess-playing ability of all races is equally shitty.

Can you post where I referred to average ability? I don’t recall that. I posted a link to top players. I have no data on the average ratings by racial groups.

You are the one talking average this or that, and I still don’t get your point. In any case, here is the current Top 100 list. No average players here. https://2700chess.com/?per-page=100

I am very familiar with the chess hustling at Washington Square Park. I went to law school at NYU Law right across the street and lived on West 3rd and MacDougal a couple of blocks away. The hustlers would target the tourists and would never play anyone for money that they knew wasn’t a fish...

I remember watching the “Roots” series on ABC as a kid. I also read the book. Chicken George was my favorite character.

That’s pretty lame, Ken. You could have opened an account already in the time you took to start this thread and write these excuses why you don’t have the time. You brandish the Parkinson’s shtick more than Michael J Fox!
