You can't Quit the board!!!!! You owe me (and anyone else who read the post) a picture of the Yucca Club (on Boulder Hiway) ashtray!!!

As for the two nameless emailers.....hell's bell's, one of 'em probably WAS Burt B. (in disguise!)

C'mon, Mark, there were two people, hiding behind private emails, who gave you a hard time. There's 34 people who've posted openly on the board who enjoy your posts. I'd be willing to bet that you've also received several private emails of support. After the banquet you told me that you and ashtrays had been insulted by a hard-core chip collector. I notice that there's a post in this thread from that collector......and that collector is encouraging you to stay and continue posting! Maybe you're winning 'em over!!

I gotta say, too, that I'll be very disappointed in you if you let 2 emails drive you away. I thought you were tougher than that? I'd think you've been on the board long enough to have seen several other folks get "lambasted", but stick around anyway. So 2 people don't like the trays...so what? It's Greg's board, and he's invited you to stay and keep posting.

You're a big boy....you can make your own decision. If you decide to quit posting, so be it, but I hope the decision would be for any other reason than 2 "bullies".

I join the others who would like you to continue your posts, and would like you to post the emails that you've referred to. (I don't think you should post JUST the names....they could be over reacting to your posts, or you could be over reacting to their emails....you know, the ol' "two sides to every story". You've presented your side-- now present theirs, in their own words.)
