Made my first post on this board over seventeen years ago! Doesn't seem like that long ago! Can remember many late nights communicating with the great guys I met and setting up so many trades. There are many of you still here, many are gone, but want to say that I have had MANY more positive experiences than negative in chip hobby! Just viewed the Archive from '98 (the year of my first post) seeing the names and the posts brought back some really great times. I have been involved in some controversies from time to time, they happen in any interpersonal situations, but in the end great friendships and transactions have been the result of my presence on this board. While I am no longer a member of the club, I still have great relationships with many club members, and it was club members that were there ready and willing to answer questions when I first began in this hobby.
