Your thinking is positive.

We must not lose sight of what we're fighting here: SLABBERS...and I can very well understand Jim's "thinking" when he says the numbering systems currently in use are probably not innovative enough to qualify for "copyright protection" and that a more complex system devised by the "club" being somewhat descriptive of the chips would qualify for "copyright protection" where the "club" could prevent SLABBERS from using OUR Numbering System, even while the club will grant permission to the chip guide authors.

This is what "fighting" is folks. This is what attacking the enemy and having them drop to their knees is....not sitting like a bump on a log looking at each other saying I do not like slabbing.

I'm all for giving it a shot if it's going to help stop these slabbers from entering our camp.
