read a single reply to any of the threads by either myself or Steve Bedo.

I haven't read every one, because I do not sit at a computer 24/7 reading every post on discussion boards and respond to them. I do not know all the facts of what happened, but I did see a posting yesterday about "harvesting" at this year's convention tournament. Once again, I don't know what happened, when it did, and/or who was involved, but I was curious about the terminology used in the posting. So, I Asked on this discussion board, if someone on the B.O.D. would define or tell me the difference between what "harvesting" and "stealing" was...

Its not about the South Point Getting "Over it" I'm sure, the casino will in any case...
Its not about just 2 little chips being taken Obviously, it is since this is what apparently is causing all the problems, at least on this ChipBoard...
Its not about how much the casino Makes It is always about the "money"
Its not about Harvesting or stealing chips It is a major part of the problem or none of this would have been discussed...
Its not about a LOT of things that have been posted. It is never just one thing...

What is IS about is that this is a private tournament that WE asked the South Point to run for us.
The Promised that we would not take any chips.
The Asked all our players to NOT take any chips.
The Stipulated that in the rules of the tournament both online and in the magazine
The Would hope that our members have the common decency to comply with that rule
One or more people didnt. I did not know any of the particulars of the convention tournament (of what you mentioned above) and I do understand AND I DO AGREE with what you are stating. However, if the "chips" were not "Harvested", "Stolen", "Taken", "Swiped", etc., there would be NO DISCUSSION ON THIS AT ALL...
