"ok ,glenn ,scott whats the diff."

They are different people?

"bob i can parse also, i didnt call you stupid, i said, wondering out loud, ' you must be drunk or stupid'."

Wondering out loud isn't the same thing as publishing. .....and just what do you think "you must be" means?

"how about it mr susong, was bob calling scott a name, or was he being civil?"

I was making a factual statement.

"ok, 1 more time,im not for slabbing low end chips, thats realy stupid. i am for protecting investments in high $ chips. as ive said many times that might have to include authenticating,xraying ,and mabee slabbing."

One more time. I'm opposed to slabbing in this hobby, period. The slabbing companies don't have any experts in our field of collecting. "Mabee" the guy in North Carolina would make you feel comfortable about buying high end chips. He has just as much knowledge as the other slabbing companies exhibited a few years ago.

"no bob the inlays didnt turn and walk away. of course i got your inference that maybee there were no inlays."

I didn't infer the inlays didn't exist, I asked what you did when you saw them, and apparently, that was nothing. I suggested you buy them and remove them from the realm of fraud possibilities. You claim you want things done to protect the collector from fraud, but when a suggestion is made as to how you could actually do so, you view it as an attack on you. Efforts made to prevent fraud in this hobby can't be a "Mommy make it stop" approach. Each of us has to do what we can every time such situations present themselves.

"as far as attact dogs, if you use a 'loose' definition, its some one that attacks with zealot like ,lightning fast, relentless never ending attacks."

First, defending a position is not an attack, nor is it an attact. You might or might not have noticed that I don't start these threads, I respond to them with reasoned and intelligent rebuttals. That often is not the case with those who start the threads, you included. Second, I've already expressed my opinions on slabbing chips in any manner. I won't sit on my hands while others publish views that are the opposite of mine. You can label me an attack dog in an effort to shut me up, but if you think that will happen, you are sadly mistaken.

"things change bob,we cant be nieve and pretend we live in a fraud free world. thats why the coin collectors have turned to slabbed high $ coins"

Chips aren't coins. Slabbing turned coin collecting into an industry, changed it from being a hobby. When "coin experts" can grade the same coin to be more than one grade, the system has inherent flaws. There are no people working as graders for slabbing companies that can be considered to be experts on chips. They can't grade coins on a consistent scale -- they sure as hell can't grade chips.
