"Decency to exercise a right" is nonsense. Your result, if it really happened, which I don't know, only proves you knew a bit about chess thirty years ago. It does not cancel out you stupid posts. And it's not about you having cheated in your life. It's about you cheating consistently on this site.

For those that doubt that I was even in the 1982 World Open in Philadelphia, I will give a little more details.
I was rated 1572 USCF at the time I entered. Due to my results my rating jumped to 1717 USCF. At that time a 100 point bonus was given to winners.
My final rating became 1817. I had to stop playing chess until my recent retirement.
I tied with two other people and so 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize money was divided among us equally. After I beat Betsy Content Smith I went on to play Benny Baldwin for first place. We both had 1 draw at the time. We agreed to a draw giving us both 2 draws with no loses. However, Betsy Content Smith won her last game giving her only one loss against me. Therefore, It became a 3-way tie.
Upon checking USCF rating list I discovered they are not actively playing USCF rated games anymore. The last published rating for Benny Baldwin was 1982 USCF and for Betsy Content Smith it was 2068 USCF.
