One of our recent prolific posters has suggested a better breakdown of categories in which this site accepts submissions. You are saying substantially the same here in your point 2, if I include a footnote-type or me-too category that some posts would be relegated to? I might buy that but not all will agree. But we will all likely offer different categories. So that discussion might well better be carried on elsewhere, say in the categories discussion. On your point 3, where I leaned a bit against your viewpoint, I've changed my mind somewhat, and I lean a bit toward your viewpoint. So I will, for example, acknowledge ERB in Lemurian as someone 'modern' who did a unique game with shortrange pieces. On point 1, I find myself in substantial disagreement. The site has created a wiki, open to all, which is doing, or trying to do, some fascinating things. It has, currently running, 2 tournaments, structured to provide a quite diversified portfolio of games. There has been an influx of new people, many bringing their own games, which has prompted impromptu Invent and Play arrangements. Yes, the new people, myself among them, don't know the rich history, and this is a lack. This is why I have changed my mind about mentioning similar items in write-ups. I assume here that having them mentioned in the comments wouldn't count. Realistically, though, few are going to make a serious attempt to read all that went before, or even a major chunk of it, and fewer still will remember all they've read. So it's pretty much up to those who remember it as it happened or played it or made it back when to apprise the rest of us of such facts as they know, if the record is to be kept straight, I would imagine.
