       The point in question here was: wouldn't it make more sense to
argue this all out in front of a chess newsgroup?  Since the entire
post was 100% about chess?  It just seems like that would be a natural
choice.

        Yeah, that's possible.  It's also possible I never heard of
him.  I thought you had some kind of beef with him.

     He's organizing this World Championship of Chinese Poker,
therefore any chess related issues he has should go into a poker
newsgroup?  I don't follow the logic.  I'm not saying it's wrong-- I
just don't get the connection.
