No doubt, large finds of previously "rare" chips are going to hurt those who have already paid big money for them. I still would not like to see them destroyed (or, for that matter, hidden away to "protect" the market).

OK, I'm lost. Martha Stewart barely registers on my radar, so I didn't know I was "quoting" her! Which part of what I said?
