... after reading a post on this ChipBoard and the lengthy thread of responses regarding the Todd Family (donations, auctions, etc.) and "rumors" about someone being related to this person or that person... SO WHAT??!! Why would or should that matter?! No one is holding a gun to your head "Forcing" you or anyone to help! People who volunteer for anything do so out of the kindness of their heart and should not be admonished in any way for helping people in need!

First of all, with any group, organization, club, business environment, etc... there will always be those that spread rumors and gossip because there will always be an assortment of dweebs in this world that have nothing better to do then attack, demean, demoralize, or antagonize others... it gives them some sort of morbid satisfaction, one can only guess. Second, being an adult is about having a mature heart and mind... and a little thing called common sense! Third, we all should be happy and grateful for what we have... there are more less fortunate people than there are fortunate! Lastly, let us support those that help, assist, and support others. They give so much of their time, effort, skills, and talent. And the dweebs... we can all do without!!!

To those who wish to cease your membership, quit the chip collecting hobby or stop reading or posting on the ChipBoard, do so for the right reason(s)... and rumors, gossip, and annoying posts shouldn't be one of them!
