In Response To: What is Happening to Backgammon? (Steve Mellen)

I want to add something to my comments made elsewhere in the thread. People don't quit Chess or Othello to preserve their rating. However, some decide not to play again later after a period of inactivity because they realize at that time their rating would decline if they played again. They enjoy telling people they are a Master or Expert and don't want to lose that.
