I think Jim hit the nail right on the head in
referring to public opinion counts, especially in
the case of Mark's auction. Mark did make a very
good point in saying that the words "casino chips"
let folks know what he's selling, and when he said:
"I can't pull the guts out of my auction and still
live," that kind of said it all -- and I'm sure
Robert will agree, too.

To quote Jim: ".....we may have lost the battle" is true, and I feel we lost it to a good reason and motive. So big deal, someone called a poker chip a casino chip....let's get real.
