Archie,
First of all I received nothing. Second, because you do not use someones name is not a justification for "digs", innuendos, or other unkind remarks.
Third, I believed this issue was resolved when you published the amount spent for Club Publicity. Resolved in the sense that club members who read it could make up their own minds. Fourth and final, all I ever really wanted was a budget allocating a sum certain each year to be used for club publicity.
I appreciate the truce and will enjoy talking about chips. Let's talk chips!!! Just like Mel suggested. Best, Jim
