Gene,
No one is going to pick on you. I think you are suffering that "poor little ole' me syndrome" <g> I would have done exactly the same for YOU!!! Honesty IMHO is not something to joke about. It is one of the most important elements that defines who we are.

Reputation for honesty in dealings takes a long time to develop. It is something that can be easily ruined by careless words of individuals who speak and write before thinking. In Andy's case it is a little different from us. He sells chips. His reputation in the "chip world" is very important. Our reputations are also important - however, you ruined yours years ago by being in all those "illegal" joints.<ROTHFLOLPIMP>

I don't care what Smorse does for a living. It has nothing to do with the $3.00 transaction. I hope this thread is over. I, like Bob, hate to see "bad feelings" replace friendship. Take care my friend, Jim
