I think everyone who knows me also knows I'm very much against slabbing and anything else that might harm our hobby. After reading Ric Chandgie's posts he seems like a decent guy who's opinion differs from ours. Unlike some others who have come on this board and insulted us, Mr. Chandgie was very much a gentleman and indicated that he respected our opinions and our right to do what we feel is right for our hobby. We certainly should show him that same respect and welcome him to the hobby. To me, the statement he made "I'm having a lot of fun finding chips" is what our hobby is about and I hope we never lose track of that. Jim
