I've been around and been a contributor - perhaps you remember me from my
Chess Help files or from my discussions with others on the top 20
players/champions of all time.  You also helped straighten out my
communications problems with the Fido area Mr. Garvin is in.
I'm USCF-rated about 1650 and have played postal chess before.  I know
you've got lots of games going, and may or may not be at your limit.  If
you accept, however, I'd like to start two games with you.  Consider the
following the first volley, if you like.
