discourage you from joining the club. There really a lot of great people here. Yes every once in a while there is a "spat" between some individuals - yet if you don't want to read the string, by all means, please don't. I certainly don't.

I too know of a very knowledgeable collector/dealer that "loved" to read all the posts everyday, yet recently he decided to stop reading the BB because of all the name calling - which in my opinion doesn't belong on any public BB. He is still an avid collector/dealer - yet he now asks me to let him know if there are any new releases posted on the BB.

This is very sad that the "spats" have driven away people from this board. I'm sure that Greg (Susong) didn't have that in mind when he first set it up, rather the intent was to have a free forum to exchange information about chips and the other casino collectables that make up our "FUN" hobby.

I for one hope that you stay in and indeed join the club. It really is a fun place...

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me, and I'll see what I can do to help out...

Regards,

Dick
