I don't discuss confidential membership information such as birthdates.

However, every candidate had more than enough signatures from voting
members. I don't specifically recall any signers having been invalidated
because of age.

George Rankoth Sloan is Sam's son, who had to be about 15 when he
nominated
his father. Is this legal?

Then I would suggest that you limit your posting of campaign issues to
the USCF forum only. There are a great many people who do not wish to
listen to anything you have to say Sam. If you want to engage a
broader audience.. then post here. If you want to simply discuss
internal USCF issues amoung those USCF members who are active, then
post in the USCF forum. Don't be disingenous<sp >

And it's really hard to do if people continue to cite his posts. My
newsreader filters every post by Sam Sloan, real or fake, but I still end
up seeing many of them because people quote him (them).

None of this crap involving the American chess association and scene should
be posted outside of rec.games.chess.politics anyway, but I guess that is a
hopeless request.

Mr. Innes is not a member of the USCF, nor is Rob Mitchell.

Both Mr. Innes and Mr. Mitchell are hostile to the USCF and have
stated that they would like for it to go out of business so that they
can start a new organization.

I will tend to address questions asked by members, not by non-members.

Everyone eligible candidate should have the right to be judged in an
election. I have checked the names above and they are all current
members. I would hope that Sam and the other board candidates might
respond to the questions posed by Mr. Innes so their positions may be
fairly judged by the electorate.

Larry, you're getting old and obstinate.
Open your eys. Sam always had that
rotten smell about him but he used to
move around fast enough to avoid the
full association. These days one cannot
help the revulsion.

Larry, you used to champion good causes.
Why have you switched to someone who
is now teaming up with Schultz?!! Sam
was forgiven his stinky transgressions
in the past because he was one of those
who had reported on Schultz and other
(Denker?) USCF ugly deeds at FIDE. Now
they, Sam Sloan and Schultz, are the two
garbage pals.

Best regards,

Wlod

Signing my election petition or the election petition of any other
candidate does not mean that the signer endorses me or will vote for
me.

It merely means that the signer feels that I should be allowed to run.

Actually, I had 73 signers of my election petitions. Whomever made
this list must have stopped as soon as the required number of 30 had
clearly been reached.

You still have not answered the question of where you got this list.
