Although my post was a reply to your post, it was not aimed directly at you so I am sorry if you took it that way.

Sometimes I think some of us take things WAY too serious at times, myself included.

I don't know anything about Mr. Freres but for all we know, he didn't realize the implications of contacting GCB about buying chips or the past history of chip collecting and the GCB. Mike asked a simple question and got bit, really hard by one individual.

We all should take a deep breath and think things out before acting out.

Cheers!
