Thanks, Andy, for providing this information as well as the even more interesting info in your 1:25AM post. Follow those links that Andy's provided in both posts. And thank you to John Benedict, who, way down on the "disappointed" thread, provided a link to Rick G.'s original post of 2/6/2002 (very interesting reading, including the responses back then). And finally to Mr. Mancini who really started the questions and, after numerous non-responses, let go with an inappropriate tirade.

Read them all, including Rick's "...disappointed thread"...it just doesn't add up...blatant in an original request for chips...disappointed about no interest in chips secured on a trip to Las Vegas...and a website asking for donations to help pay down a debt.

For the most part, the people that post on and frequent this board are all nice, generous people. I just hope that your generosity hasn't been taken advantage of....
