Hey Brad -- a voice of sanity in all this. There are those who apparantly take great joy in firing off pompous, negative broadsides periodically (kind of like a pressure relief valve on an overheated boiler) to which everyone feels obligated to respond. This results in lengthy strings that could better be handled by e-mail since they all know each other already. The best thing to do is just open a window and let the hot air blow away.

Then we can get back to sharing information which will allow us remote collectors to obtain our chips at 1st generation markups instead of 2nd or 3rd.
