I was diagnosed als on March 24, 1994. It started as slight fasiculations in

electronic wheelchair, at a rehabilitation facility, unable to use my body
from the neck down, on verge of trach surgery, but still positive.  Nothing
is worse than a negative attitude and defeated spirit.  Always began today
with  appreciation and a desire for tomorrow and you'd be okay.

Write your reply.

assistant: I don't think you'll raise too much controversy with this question.  While
   there are those players who feel they need to "interact emotionally with"
   (read: "psych out") an opponent, or can't judge a position without reading
   their opponent's body language, or are so insecure that they believe any
   opponent out of "eye-shot" must be cheating, by and large, they aren't
   playing chess here.
   A lot of the players that ARE here might prefer face-to-face games, but
have
   various mobility problems which make chess in this medium a more pragmatic
   choice.
   Every manner of playing chess -- e-mail, OTB, blindfold, etc. -- presents
   its own problems.  Here in FIDO-land, the two largest problems are the
   amount of time it takes to finish a game, and trying to maintain
   communication links with opponents.  A contributing factor to the second
s
   the large number of players who desert games -- usually in the early
tages
   -- without so much as a word to any of their opponents.
   Granted that are sometimes circumstances over which a player has no
ontrol
   -- as I can attest to first-hand -- but most of the "vanishers" bail out
due
   to boredom, peer pressure or other factors not related to actual
   communication problems.  Maybe I'm irrationally idealistic, but I've
figured
   if a player has time to be bored, he has time to be courteous.

   I don't think he meant that the file listings should cease or even be
   reduced, but that the chess chatter should increase.  CHESS_TOURNEY has
   always struck me as "chatter-sparse", although it is somewhat less so
ince
   the INTER-ECHO MATCH started to take shape.  CHESS used to be *much*
   chattier, but our more colorful debates were usually fueled by a few
   psychotically argumentative souls who don't seem to be posting anymore.
   Since I am a Sysop, and some of my users have asked, how about slipping me
a
   netmail explaining how to do it?
