... a message which said, in part:

>> I received 5 chips in a #10 envelope from a club member.....
>> will not buy from this person again.

Doesn't Paul -- or anyone else, for that matter -- have the same right to choose not to do business (buying or trading) with another member?

It isn't a "newby" or "two club" issue. In Stu's case, it's a "Stu" issue. Please see the messages I linked in my response to him for a better understanding of why he -- as an individual, newby or otherwise -- has alienated, in a short time, an extraordinary number of other collectors.
