I don't know if you are aware or not that pictures that you have uploaded onto this BB fall off after a certain amount of time, so that is why your pictures may not be seen now.

As far as defending Gene and his actions, the has not done that nor would it. Some club members have defended Gene, but there's probably been an equal amount that have given him grief for it. And the club has done nothing to promote "the chip", it was something that was done by an individual member(s). I know that you are not a member anymore, but please know that the actions of any indiviual in this club, whether you, me, a "newbie, a hall-of-famer or a BOD member, is reflective of that individual and not the entire membership.
