... when the initial brass core decision was made ... and when Nate announced in the club magazine that David Whalen would not be permitted to rejoin the club. Perhaps you can clarify David's status for us:

Did the board vote to prohibit him for rejoining the club?

If so, when was that vote taken?
What was the exact vote?
Where has that decision been formally announced?

Also, on the basis of what formal complaint was that decision made?

If the board did not vote to prohibit David from rejoining the club, on what basis did Nate make the announcement in the club magazine?

BTW, I don't believe in "chip fairies" either.

>> Legal or illegal is not the issue.
>> The issue to me is that he harmed the hobby.

Granted, the production of these chips harmed the hobby and I have never said otherwise. That, however, was not the issue in the brass core investigation, as you well know. Furthermore, it remains my opinion that his actions did not violate any of our club rules.
