Thanks, Sue. Initially, I thought James posted it because it came with his name. You and James have been good friends and thus I was both astonished at what was a false charge and hurt because of the way in which it was posted--both to me on CASINO and here on Greg's board [I haven't checked CHEQUERS yet].

However, the basic issue is still unresolved. Please ask James to respond to my initial request. I would like very much to clear my name. I did not say anything to anyone at anytime about the Hollywood Queen chip. I have never said anything derogatory about James to anyone, nor would I do so.

I can appreciate a father going to bat for his son, but Eddy apparently was given false information. Thus, I would like you, James or Eddy to provide me, privately if you wish, with the name of the person who provided this information. As owner of the CASINO list serve, I am deeply troubled by the false charge. Already it has caused some to take sides. Indeed I posted on CASINO a nice letter from Paul Sax that was very complimentary of you, Sue, and James. I did not want people assuming the false charge by Eddy was true and then taking sides in the matter.

I have heard privately from 18 different people. So, Sue, the matter is of concern to me.

I hope James will meet with Eddy and find out the underlying basis for this and either publish it on this board or at least contact me privately.
