... to ask for the names, Jim. The information you provided with respect to these specific chips is useful (and appreciated).

However, the conduct has implications beyond these particular chips, bearing directly on the honesty and integrity of the dealers involved. If I knew the names of the individuals you are referring to, I wouldn't have anything to do with them.

I do understand your desire not to be sued and don't intend this as an "attack" on you -- just a statement of why someone like David might have an interest in the names. An interest which would be all the more pertinent if either of the names was also on "The Rat's" list of sellers of fake brass cores.

BTW, use of "Mr. B" and "Mr. S" does sound a little like a riddle to me!
