"I am amazed Gene
seems to refer to me as someone he has spoken with on this topic or has
information from me indicating how and when I acquired them."

Mr Foster,
Please point out to me where I said anything about you or where you got the chips.

"Furthermore it amazes me that when I asked him a couple years ago about the origin of these
chips he made similar assumptions to what Bob has said about them."

This is an out and out lie.
Your 1st statement indicates I never talked to you. Your 2nd statement indicates I did.
I do not believe I have ever met you or talked to you.
