You have apologized and still gotten raked over the coals. Perhaps you should have asked for permission, so you didn't, and because of that, and what happened, we all lost. Rick Miner said it very nicely, "We have all lost."

For Christ sakes what is expected? Show up at next convention and let them whip you into submission. Maybe that would appease them. Nonetheless, defend yourself, you have done nothing unforgiveable.

Yes, start another site...outdo what anyone else has done...render their effort worthless. I don't care how much sweat and exhaustion might be put into running around taking pictures and crying about not being able to look at chips. Sounds juvenile to me. You can still take pictures and look at chips. The floor is open for 4 days if you count set up.

Say, "Yeah, I'll do it and I will have plenty of time to look at the chips." Why wouldn't you? Just be you!!

I am proud to be a member of this club. I am very proud of the friendships that I have made because of being a member. One great organization.

I give away scans and pictures of everything I have...you need it...you got it...that's ALL. Just a simple request, and I am there for you. I don't care if you blow them up matte them and make money...It all promotes the hobby. How damn simple is that?

My only other thought is to "Mr P". If you have plans of having a picture of every member of the CCGTCC you will be missing mine and probably David Spragg's. Mike Poole, take on the project and you will get alot of smiling faces I don't think "Mr. P" will get. Only thing is we will be the "underbelly" of the collecting field.

We are the ones that don't warrant the elite status. Nonetheless we are proud members.We pay our dues and do what we can.

Enough is too much,

Mark
