Dear Mr Follis grin , I will try again.......

As you didnt respond to my reply the other night I thought I would clarify a few things.
My comment on you being a moderator on chiptalk was intended to bring you back into this discussion on 'reproduction' type chips as it seems you are now a more accepted/adopted member of the chiptalk community than when we first raised this issue at length some 15 months or so ago.

I could have discussed this through email but I thought there was more benefit in making this public, for both comment from readers of both boards, and the likelihood/hope that someone will make the powers that be on chiptalk aware of this discussion.

The recent thread here was in fact the most recent of several which skirted around the same topic, and Im not certain how much of it you followed.

As I did state to you and others before, in my opinion the best we can do at this time is to continue to 'educate' people by making available scans of any such 'rogue' chips. I appreciate your reply at that time that you did not feel you could 'take' copies of many of the pics posted on chiptalk as they were not yours to take.

Now I do believe that although we dont necessarily agree on whether anything could ever be done to stop production of any such chips (and that is not the issue I am talking about anyway), we do agree on the potential detrimental affect to our hobby, and you made it quite clear in your 'manifesto' that you wanted to do what you could to help regardless of being elected or not grin

This is what I am asking for, whether its effected with help from you, or any other member of either forum:

Permission to download and use any graphics/scans/pics of chips worthy of addition to the clubs fakes page, from any of the forums on chiptalk.

My recently deleted posts there really didnt say any more than that anyway. I did not mention copyrights, my opinions on the people making these chips etc. at all. Id already seen other peoples posts deleted for doing that so there was no point.

So, what can you do to help???? grin
