To the perennial top-10er responsible for such gems as ascarids, intarsia, trithing, thymine, muraenid, wagsome, fusilier (as gleaned from a quick scan of game comments): why on earth is your NSA rating still in the 1200's? Do you have any idea how uncharacteristic such words are of players in the sub-intermediate division? Would you treat us to a sampling of the uncommon words and difficult finds you've played in live tourneys?
To the other top-10 habituee with an NSA rating in the high 1600's: doesn't it bother you just a little that a player who, on the basis of their rating in live games, should beat you less than one time in 17 tries, has a 17-16 record against you on-line?
To the rest of this ladder: why do you tolerate such chicanery? Are you not aware of it, or is it just a case of glass houses?
