4) The Chess Collecting Bug-Very generalized among the chess collecting community. This condition is known to be highly expensive to treat and available remedies currently have been known to be very addictive. There is no known cure at this time.

Actually there is a cure, and I've found it.

Start giving away your sets. This is so contrary to the collector mentality that it quickly shocks one back into reality. Well of course you don't want to give away your very best pieces...Oh, maybe it didn't work after all.

That's not a cure! You're just spreading the disease! Unclean! Unclean!

Here Baddogno, here here boy! I have a case of ...

4a) Chess Board disease. Having a 2" inch board and being envious of the larger sized 2.25" inches, and a desire to help those afflicted with #4) cure themselves. The 2.5's are just showing off I have determined. However, if anybody wants to cure themselves of those particular variations of 4a, I will be happy to assist.

It seems that chess set collecting has created some diseases that can not be controlled by the CDC. Please be aware before purchasing any chess sets of the following top 10...

1) The Dubrovnik Mania Bug-The only known cure at this time is to buy a Noj for treatment use and be done with it. Other remedies have seemed to fail or have not completely cured the patient.

2) The Mid Staunton 1800's Bug-This one is speading and still growing. No one has yet found the perfect cure, but we all are hopeful that a remedie is just around the corner.

3) The Fischer Spassky Bug-This one is serious and has been around since at least the early '70's. No known cure at this time and highly contangious to many.

4) The Chess Collecting Bug-Very generalized among the chess collecting community. This condition is known to be highly expensive to treat and available remedies currently have been known to be very addictive. There is no known cure at this time.

5) The Troll Bug-This new one has many concerned. It seems that some members have contracted this bug recently and it seems to be spreading of late. The only known cure at this time is to block the person infected. Once the person is totally cured from this unknown bug, it is usually safe to unblock them from quarantine.

6) The Woodie Bug-This one is not to serious and can be usually treated with Renaissance Wax which will usually cure this bug, However, some conditions can get more serious such as cracks appearing which need to be treated by a professional.

7) The Experts Bug-While some have contracted this bug with what seems to have some rather good benefits, others have also contracted it with just the opposite effect creating a know it all condition. No known treatment at this time.

8) The Seller Vs Seller Bug-This bug can be dangerous and has been known to creat some demise. These remedity providers have been trying to fulfill through research and developement various cures for many of the diseases effecting our chess community. Some remedies are more effective and expensive than others. Although it is a bug that can be somewhat dangerous, the sellers usually can provide a good remedity for each person infected depending on the severity of their case and disease.

9) The Buyers Remorse Bug-This condition can be serious creating all kinds of problems. It is usually caused by receiving a product that doesn't meet a persons expectations. Only known possible cure at this time is to return the product for replacement to the respective remedity agent.

10) The Perfectionist Bug-This bug simply put is maybe the worst of all and is known to creat a secondary condition called...Perfect Reproduction disease. Again, no known cure at this time.

Hilarious! ROTFLMAO!
