I honestly have no idea if Norm is leaving the chip collecting hobby or not, but here is my advice to ANY member who is offended by other members, or by posts/actions on this Board....

Don't leave the hobby, leave the Board (and perhaps even the Club), or whatever issues have you frustrated behind for awhile (maybe for a long while) and just collect chips . Do your trading by emails with longtime friends and trading partners, and shop eBay and dealers you have always liked dealing with in the past. See if it gets your enthusiasm for the hobby up a bit
