... some others have been doing, Pam.

I said David's chip repair activities haven't harmed the hobby and you say his production of "non-genuine" brass cores has. Non sequitur, since one has nothing to do with the other, as I have been saying ever since I wrote the original brass core report.

In fact, I said right in the post to which you were responding:

>> Please keep in mind here that I do not consider the off-color brass cores "repaired" (which
>> implies restoration to original condition, not change into something that never existed).

Nothing in my previous post was related in any way to the "non-genuine" brass core chips. Your entire post was based on the brass cores and was therefore non-responsive to the point I was making.
