"Just as I can confirm that, based on what I know, your acquisition of Whalen chips was under the circumstances and for the reasons you described!"

I feel bad for Jim M. Nice guy and I have never heard anyone say anthing bad about him. He is a friend.
As far as my acquisition goes, anyone is welcome to ask any questions they want.
I invite all others on "The List" to post the reasons for their purchase the same as Jim did.
