Why must it be so formalized and set in stone? I think most collectors know what slabbing is, even if their ideas differ in some very small special instances. Do all that oppose it need to agree on every last detail? What exactly is you point in all of this? Do you have any suggestions, or just criticisms?

I'm not part of any clique, and have met very few collectors, and those, only once, but I must say whatever you are trying to persuade people of, you have lost me.
