I see CC's senior citizen has taken the time to critique OzChess. OzChess thanks him for making this effort as undoubtedly at his age this kind of endeavour could have taken a lot out of him. His findings seem to be as follows:

That we lurk on CC (implying no one from CC lurks on OzChess);
That we have the appearance of lively discussion;
That if we did not have CC to create such lively discussion, we would be a moribund site; and
Recently most of the posts on OzChess somehow relate to CC.

While Dennis' last point may fool some people, he should be aware that most of our posts made recently (in the past 2 months) relate to Victorian Chess events and games played online or over the board (Olympiad and ACF classical).

Fond Regards,

AO

ps- Thank you Dennis for confirming that you read this site regularly.

Also, for future reference, although your distasteful attack on Shaun Press when he was in Germany might not have been responded to publicly, you will not receive such a courtesy from me.
