claiming the reason he decided to quit the club was over this contest.

I see no posts over the past 2 years discrediting him before his decision to quit.

The original contest was made my someone who happened to be a member but never once mentioned the or even that you had to be a member to join the contest.

This is a private board where both members and non members post a variety of things.

Just because a member posts using a member number in no way implies that they are representing the club.
That is the reason we dont allow our members to use the club logo on web sites or letterhead. Every member who wishes to do so are provided with their own logo showing their membership number.

Using your logic, every post made on every board by our membership represent the opinions which is obviously not the case.

I can completely understand Andy's frustration as he had received several emails promising the chip would be mailed yet it never arrived.

I am happy to see that the situation is being resolved as it is issues like this that have killed many of the contests that are so fun on this board.
