I am on the pledge list. I don't own, buy or sell any slabbed chips. I have never purchased from anyone on the list. Nonetheless, I believe the pledge simply says that I will not buy from a person or company that "sells" slabbed chips. As for Mark Scott, that is no longer true. I would not feel prohibited from buying from him. Of course, there may be other reasons not to buy from him. I don't believe the pledge references the slabbers list at all. If the board wants to remove my name from the list for my stance that I am free to buy from those who once sold slabbed chips, but no longer do so, then so be it, although I have no reason to believe that they would.
