An excellent well thought out letter, lets hope it finds many a retina

When I started posting on this site, I was slightly against the current ICU committee because of the non rating of the Galway Rapid Play but I was open to being convinced of the error of my ways since I'm relatively new to the Chess scene.

However, the more I have learned in the past few months, the more I am entrenched in more of an "anti" Pat Fitzsimon's camp rather than a "pro" John McMorrow camp. I know this is a sad situation but after reading the message from Stephen Brady, I feel a little less sad. It's time for a new executive committee and Mr. Brady has explained why better than anyone else I have read so far.
