When a person's heart is in the right place but breaks a rule in achieving that goal. hat happens to that person would make me sad also. When a person sets out to swindle fellow chipper friends (I consider all chippers as friends), my saddness is replaced by anger in a New York minute.

Additionally, what has transpired has come as no shock to me. I have spoken with many of his good friends (I dare say closer to Mel than you) and they are not surprised.

My question to you is: is this a total surprise?
