I get this: http://www.fide.com/fide/contacts.html
So make the thread in to a pdf and email? I would like to send it all as a discussion including other people who don't agree with me.

Yeah, i mean do they even use internet?
I doubt they could even make a website..
oh wait

Yes. And in this discussion with FIDE, I would prefer to stay neutral. As I did not do any of the debating, even though one of my comments clearly stated that I disagree with your point of view.
titles@fide.com No I am not being funny. It literally says in the link you gave us.
That works too lol. Now there is no excuses.

OK. I'll send this whole thread to that.
Before I go to the old-style post-office and lick the stamps it's the last call for anyone who wants to retract/add to/ go back from etc etc anything that is their opinion in this thread.
Not that I expect that anyone here is known beneath their handle.
But it is a matter of common courtesy to offer the above before I send which will probably be tomorrow - so for the above anyone has 24 hours to post here before then.
Cheating online is very common and if FIDE awarded titles for online play cheating would only get worse . ICC has conducted online events with cash prizes and even famous GMs were caught cheating . Why would even famous GMs cheat to win online ? They cheat because they also cannot beat the hacks out there using engines like Rybka and Houdini ....

I didn't read the whole thread but there is a way to have FIDE rate games online. Let's talk time zones.
New York, Philadelphia, Montreal, Boston, Atlanta, Miami...All on same time zone. Players who live in these cities report to a location in each city. All may play in same event. They sit sliently at a real board, and a runner delivers the moves. No one will be able to use an engine. Europe is only a 5 hours time difference, their players could enter as well if one round a day is offered....

Yes. I have the address and have bookmarked the page. Thank you.
OK. I'll put this thread as a pdf, print it out and mail it all to FIDE in another 24 hours time.
Might take a while for any response though - Australia to Greece - that is the postal route that takes the scenic path past the milkbars [joke].

Aww Rats, is your definition of "on line" different than everyone else's?
Are you talking about runners like in a stock exchange?
Yes, they were running matches like this back in the 1970's in the USA, into the 80's. US Chess League or something. Washington Plumbers (A Watergate pun) won the first year. Don't forget, Fischer played in a Cuban event in the 1960's by teletype from New York when the state department wouldn't give him a Visa. Capablanca memorial, methinks. In 1946 the USA played the USSR by short wave radio and got slaughtered. That's when we learned the Russians were doing more than just defending their homeland the past several years....

It is curious that I recall international matches being played like that before the internet arrived with telephone relays.
That IS one way to do it. I don''t like it because there would be an "entry fee" to use the location.
But yes it is one option. Not one that I favour. But an option all the same.

Um. This guy I am writing to: Ilyumzhinov has drawn world-wide attention for claiming personal contact with aliens, alleging that they took him on a mystical tour of the galaxy in their spaceship in 1997 [wikipaedia]
Should I use an address on another planet?
Where's this guy's spaceship? I mean. Wow. Beam me up.

That is fine. FIDE has a democratic right to ignore the 21st century.
Actually there are some titled players on this chess site that I have met in real life who were nasty to me. I don't want to give names.
Who were they?
Personally I cant think of any aus titled players i know of whove seemed nasty

Oh, I can. Please don't tempt me to say anything else.
