Take a week or two without even looking at the Chip Board before you make such a decision.

Spend some time with your chip guides and back issues of the club magazine. Take another look at your collection and rediscover some chips you've forgotten you have. Let the nonsense that sometimes takes place on here go on without your monitoring it.

I haven't read all of the posts of the last few days because frankly, I get tired of all the bickering. So, I don't know what exactly brought you to this point, but it really doesn't matter.

Belonging to the and reading this board are really two different things, as you know. When the BS on this board gets too deep from all sides, right and wrong, I just step away for a while and wait until things settle down before I come back.

I hope you'll give that approach a try too. I've enjoyed talking to you and trading with you in the past and I hate to think that some new collectors will miss that opportunity because you cashed in your chips.
