Campiglia,
If you haven't figured it out yet, let me help you. The "slabbing" issue is a very serious issue. It is not something many of us find funny. It does not generate FUN. There are some individuals out there that believe grading of chips and slabbing of chips go hand in hand. In fact some individuals believe YOUR BOOK started this mess. I for one believe individuals can publish what they want.

Yes, this board was/is fun. I find myself posting much less then before. I use to enjoy writing my chip articles and sharing them with others. Today, I'm just trying to figure out whether I still want to collect chips. I hate this "slabbing" mess. I wish it would just go away. YOU know it won't and so do I.

The shirts are not in good taste.

Your questions about Bill down at Gambler's General Store are not necessary and also were in poor taste. you knew the answers before you asked the questions. Bill has his reasons why he will not let the flyers be placed. No need to cause anymore division between Bill and Rene. For someone who loves FUN you sure know how to "shake up the pot" to eliminate the FUN.

My note is not an attack. It merely states my opinions and beliefs. You know me well enough to know I will say what I believe to you or anyone else. Now have a good day. Best, Jim
