All this discussion reminds me of a situation that occurred at a conference in Chicago.
There was a group of chess enthusiasts who were checked into my hotel and were all standing around in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories.
After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.
"But why?" one asked, as they moved off.
"Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."
Nearly ruined my golden ears.
