It's called litigation, Sue. You don't get what you want outside of
discovery, and you are about to experience discovery big time,
depositions included. Pass this on to Hubby.

I have not read the actual filing against Paul and Susan, but is it
individuals filing suit for removal or is it the [USCF] Corporation?

I would not be surprised to find out that the 'gang of four' in handling
the directing of the USCF operations between Delegates meetings has
instructed or directed the Corporation [USCF] to file the suit against
Paul and Susan.


This was posted by Mr. Hall:

The legal subcommittee voted 4-0 to initiate the Illinois action. This
was supported by USCF counsel and had my strong recommendation along
with it. The record of the vote was supplied to our Illinois counsel
prior to initiating the action. I did and still do strongly support the
action.

Bill Hall
Executive Director
USCF


In the mean time here was one of my requests 8 days ago:

Bill,

...Could you please let me know as to when I can get a signed copy of
the USCF retainer / legal agreement with Karl Kronenberger (Kronenberger
Burgoyne) back in September or October 2007?

This should not be a very difficult process and it should not take more
than 2-3 minutes to accomplish. Please see the previous request below
dating back to 12/22/2008. Can I expect to get it by tomorrow? I would
appreciate it if you comply with my request ASAP.

Thank you.
Susan Polgar

Mr. Hall completely ignores my requests and did not even have the
courtesy to respond. But Mr. Bauer answered the following tonight:

Ms. Polgar,

You are now an advers e party in three legal actions involving the USCF.
While I have not consulted with Bill Hall about this, my opinion is that
it is most appropriate to limit your access to USCF legal documents.

Randy Bauer

Why are they so afraid to show a simple retainer with the USCF lawyer?

What I don't understand is why she's openly discussing litigation
against her? If there ever was a time for "no comment", it's now.

I agree her request for information outside of discovery is laughable.

Oops. It looks like Dr. IMnes is out of his depth

Something just doesn't compute for the good

they happen to come up with inconvenient answers.
Otherwise, he likes 'em, and will often have a brew

Please do one of these stylistic analyses on
me. Some idiot once claimed to have done a
syntax analysis of my postings, matching me
up to some fellow whose style was markedly
different. When I requested he show how he
could make such a titanic blunder, he fell
silent... which reminded me of an article on

What? I have never changed any opinion on this issue it came up - and
I merely state what any reasonable person could conclude were
possibilities. What that has to do with conspiracy or whatever Mike
Murray addresses is utterly unknown to me - but he is not big at
understanding things without spin. Possibly stating the range of
possibilities always suggests conspiracy to him? Who can tell from
what he says?

Super-hacker? Is that your opinion? If I have your password I can just
post as you. As for corrupting the back-up too, then while that even
more conspiratorial, it would depend much how the back-up is
protected. Some placers have off-site back-ups to streaming tape, eg.
But I don't know which exact server network is engaged here.

At minimum. If you control the registration of the data storage you
can also falsify backwards and forwards time-stamps and other aspects
of things. But sure.

I am not as you all are. You need to believe something which you admit
you don't know the facts thereof, nevertheless are certain you are
right, and others naive.

What I suggest here are almost generically simple substitutions,
requiring no very special knowledge, merely opportunity - though
certainly, some level of competency.

It has been 'done' by whom, and to whose satisfaction?

See above - who had access? Are such people named in the suit? Is the
data or the analysis from that source.

You are embarrassed by other elements of the affair which you already
trashed when I wrote about them - and this sort of establishes how
objectively you report anything at all. You couldn't even admit it was
the false Sloan when there was a swear-word in the header...

But I am not attempting to prove anything to you, just observing the
wit with which you address this subject.

Dear Gordon,

I thought I already answered your question.

If you are asking me legal advice I am not the person to apply to what
may be admitted into evidence either generically or in a specific
case. Neither do I comment if such admitted testimony constitutes
proof.

From a stance of just ordinary computing knowledge I can answer. I
should like you to note that I changed a word in your second to last
paragraph - I substituted the word 'bananas' for your word
'obnoxious'. Yet it appear you wrote the whole post, no? To determine
otherwise your original message would have to be compared with the
text above.

There are only 2 possibilities as far as I can see in the ISP issue.
That PT did it, or that PT was framed.

Therefore, who had access to the records that show the ISP, including
PT's password?

Certainly all system admins need access to their computing system -
and would have such access. Who else had access? I understand there
was at least one other...

Secondly, as above, one means to check if you used the word bananas,
or I inserted it would be to compare with your original. In terms of
server-records there will be at least one back-up, no? If the back-up
differs from the 'proof', then its game over.

Even so, this is not the only way to substitute an identity - no
changed need be made to originals, but material can be posted in the
pass-word protected name or identity of another.

It is not possible for me to say if this occurred, and AFAIK, not
possible for anyone else to ascertain if it had either - without
having all the evidence before them, and sifted by more cyber-savvy
people than myself.

In short, the answer to your question is no, indication of ISP
identity is no certain proof.

Phil Innes

Hmmm. Did you get to see the secret USCF conspiracy information? If

Kind of like logging on to the password protected private e-mail

Simply your all powerful evil person defense is becoming tiresome and
more bizarre by the day.

And your Deity (Omnipotent, Omniscient evildoer) defense isn't even
useful in criminal court either.

Most sane people in response to the Deity defense use Occam's razor in
reply. "All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best"

It is beyond time to require anything more of the accuser, and to move
the organization forward. End this. Resign already.

If they have been wronged, look for retribution. But stop holding up
the actions of sane people to move the organization forward.

But waiting for a "legal determination" gives remedy to those that
should not get remedy.

Usually the person talking about someone else "taking responsibility"
doesn't apply the standard so well to themselves. The USCF has taken
NO responsibility for what one of its board of directors did to ME, as
if my rights were somehow nonexistent.

Much of what USCF is *now* putting in its pleadings show that not only
did one of their directors harass me online and defame me for two
years, while another board member explicitly refused to investigate it
with open malice towards me. Now the alleged "lone wolf" who was
behind this cyberterror campaign is being thrown under a bus by the
same people who helped engineer his election to the board.

Like it or not, USCF is liable for the conduct of its officers, and
the more they prove misconduct towards me, the stronger they make my
case (and Sloan's). Is it any wonder they delayed this lawsuit until
the LAST possible moment before the election campaign bgan?

THe recent Laurie Drew conviction could easily be used as precedent to
estabish civil liability under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act for
more than just USCF's damages, as I happen to have a business related
to chess that was easily damaged by the threshhold ($5k), plus they
were damaging my publishing company in general. The statute of
limitations for the CFAA is two years, just like the Illinois statute
for defamation. Once the EEOC sends me the second right-to-sue
letter, I can file all three claims in Illinois this time, which is
also where the non-employment retaliation precedent was established
aand later upheld by the US Supreme Court.

I also am bemused by the idiots who are distancing themselves from the
House of Truong, who were total assholes about supporting them, as if
the shit they stank up the room with for years retroactively did not
stink because THEY suddenly got a clue. The problem with them isn't
that they supported them, but how obnoxious they were in doing so.

Since when is an ISP subpoena not conclusive evidence of who posted a
message? I had asked Phil if he would consider that proof, and if
not, why not, but he never answered me.

Well, she's chanting they same conspiracy/dirty chess
