Tim, speaking of intellectual honesty are you about ready to reciprocate the request you made to me, earlier today, by responding?

No, I meant what do your "Nickname, self proclaimed title, location, profile wording, profile picture, avatar, membership status, tenure, favorite forums, topics of threads launched, posting substance and communication style provide an identity signature of the character and maturity, values and focus" say about you?
....................
Nickname: Probably a grandfather; Title/location/avatar: Boston roots, sense of history (and playful humor in tweaking the RHP British Membership); Profile wording: past his prime/knows his chess board limitations, reasonably well read and spiritually focused; Picture: Who's the hottie? Hmm... maybe the guy's still socially active; Membership/tenure: quite possibly a vacuum in his life (widower?) with an aggressive 12,000 moves in two years; Forums/thread topics/posting substance/style: Socially assertive extrovert with a serious and intense play of mind, an internet newcomer out of sync with Gen-X with an individualized and at times overly nuanced writing style; Character: Integrity appears to matter; Maturity: Relaxed, easily forgives; Values: Conservative/Christian; Focus: ideas and people.
Your turn, Tim.

Tim, often quotes come to mind that capture my sentiments or beliefs better than
I could word them. Always make it a point to acknowledge the author or source.

I seem to take heat, whether the words are my own or quotations of the words of others. Cool, cool, cool. Please make it a great day.

Of course not. Knew immediately that it was counterfeit. JFK was well
read and often quoted others in both his speeches and written work.
Pfft...nothing but weak opponents. They have ratings so low I don't even get rating points.
I have been deleting games where my opponent isn't above 1400 to correct everything.
I create games and low rated opponents keep accepting them so now I delete them and try again.
It would be easier if they had "options" before I create each game so I could limit it to 1400+
