Eulogy for Edwin

Looks like Edwin took down his blog (again), probably due to one or more of the following factors:

1. The president of his chess club, flanked by two large muscle-bound men, sternly indicated “we don’t do that blogging thing ’round here”.

2. Found out David K might be moving to the Netherlands and has gone into hiding.

3. Finally figured out chess is for nerds.

4. Didn’t want to get caught up in the Dutch government’s crackdown on the Cult de la Maza.

5. Prefers to be anonymously known as The Chess Player??? (cue sting music appropriate for a conspiracy theory)

    I think 5 and 1 may be correct, especially 5 as it looks the same and has an obscure blog like mine in his blogroll like Edwin did.

    Hmm, what is this WordPress blog that copies my posts and autopings you? Not that I mind, but I’m curious as to what the purpose might be.

    I am sorry to dissapoint you but i’m not him. I used to follow his blog and copied his sidebar. Hope he didn’t close his blog down permanently…

    @l3rucewayne: We’re chess bloggers. We’re all obscure.

    @David K: David, David, David. Not everyone’s quite as comfortable with male hugs! At least, not without the promise of keeping “those parts” at least a couple feet apart.

    @Wahrheit: It’s spamming. They steal content from legit blogs and link to their crap to boost search rankings of other pages.

    I’d be pissed if spammers started using the Mascot for their nefarious purposes.

    @The Chess Player: He might come back, or change names, which he tends to do from time to time. As long as he lets everyone know.

    @chessloser: So a guy can call another guy sweetie? McCain’s jumping all over that one…

    @drunknknite: Why? See David’s comment.

    Tanks a lot for the Mr. T theory. Maybe Mr. T doesn’t like us crying about our losses. :-)
