Your original post read:

>>>>Has anyone come on this board after all the
badmouthing this dealer received from his "friend."
and thanked the dealer in question for removing the
slabbed material from his case?

>>>>In case anyone has any doubts to what I'm referring
to, please see the posts of this dealer's "friend"
on either this board or the club board within the
last 36-hours. The posts may be found by searcing for the name Gene Trimble.

Therefore I assumed the posts you were referring to (in the second paragraph above) had something to do with the paragraph immediately preceding. You now are saying that these posts actually refer to a point you were making in another paragraph. . . Hence my confusion.
