Bob,

Let me assure you, that I have no intention to support slabbing. MY question had to do with why they haven't died on the vine. Certainly if other hobbies have adopted these services then it explains how they can stay around.

Personally, I think it is a foolish choice. A waste of money for chips at the lower end, and too many legitimate experts willing to assist neophytes (even right here) in larger actions. Besides the club helps serve has a protection as well. I am very cautious about dealing with persons not in the club.

Thank you for some of the history.
