The latest person to exit the Egregious Chess Forum is Paul "Cuckoo" Cooksey. After becoming embroiled in a ludicrous debate with some of the worst termites currently active, he has given up the ghost, withdrawn from the Forum and asked for his account to be deleted.
This blog will not be shedding any crocodile tears over his departure, but it does have to be said that he was one of the ever-diminishing number of forumites who was actually literate. Before leaving, he described the Forum as "a mixed ability group", which I think is Sir Humphrey Appleby-speak for "they are a bunch of illiterate morons, leavened only by a tiny minority of intelligent and sensible people"!
