There is a rumor bouncing around that Sevan Muradian and his North
American Chess Association will be trying to take away from the USCF
it's FIDE affiliation.

Also, supposedly the North American Chess Association is trying to
become the governing body of chess in Canada, Mexico and the USA.

I can tell you that none of this will ever happen, so do not worry
about it.

I am just wondering why some people seem to think that it might
happen.

And the anonymice here on Usenet, and the business associates who pose
as disinterested parties.

How is NACA going to advertise itself? Craigslist ads? Or will some
GM's husband post hundreds of messages under other folks names to
promote the new group.

The latter isn't much different from all the anonymous posters on her
blog and the fake handles on chessdiscussion.
