    Hi Kerry. Brad's member page says he's been banned. I assume that means he's kaputsky as far as any chesstalk services go. I suppose he can still access chesstalk on a view-only basis so I'd like to say something to him, too, in case he didn't see the last post I made:

    Brad, I read all of your chess & math posts and I'm very sorry that you had to go through those negative experiences. I hope your life without chess & math will be much happier.

      Oh, I didn't notice the banned part... I can see the sense of banning *some* people on here
      but banning him for posting his experiences at chess & math seems vindictive and perhaps
      validates much of what he was saying. I had a feeling the posts might 'disappear' - it took
      longer than I thought...

        Any company would have banned a former employee for posting that sort of material on a discussion group owned by the company.

          Anyone who really wanted the posts would have printed them in any event, no??

            Indeed. An alternative to printing is copy the text into a document... (this is what I did).
            In any case, this is all moot now.

              Kerry, you are correct in noting that by and large the majority of the postings on this site are putrid.

                  Exactly. It is similar to panning for gold - occasional nuggets can be found, but there is an amazing amount of crap.

                    Good analogy! Chesstalk is also like chess in that it's addictive. :)
