Making a comment about another issue is like barging into a conversation and interjecting a topic which has nothing to do with the discussion. Also... no private messages or solicitations (e.g., selling books, giving lessons, announcing tournaments) are done here. I have a spam filter which handles outside spam, but need your help on the inside spam. Help keep your blog clean and spam-free! ;) Glenn, As of right now, there is no classified ads section for posting announcements on The Chess Drum. I'll have to figure out the format and fee scale for this type of service. For what you are asking will probably be free of charge when I implement the classified section. All I can do at this point, is send a mass e-mail to the distribution list. Bloggers,

I only wish that there was a board set up to play out the games online. It is nice to see such tournaments becoming common place.
