you said...Here' a matter that needs attention: When someone from outside our circle asks a serious question on the Chip Board about a chip, value or any other information, there is a general lack of response by this vast knowledge base

I agree 100 percent. I have seen this over and over again and will never understand the lack of response. Also someone making a first post, not knowing the board, may not use their real name, being a bit leery, and those posts never get a reply. shameful
