I don't doubt you're right about that, Don. However, based on the response to the list, the success of the slabfree chapter and the discussions on this board, I believe that you and others who feel as you do are a distinct minority of the online chipping community.

I also believe that once all other chippers are fully aware of the situation, most of them will also be anti-slabbing.

NOT IN MY HOBBY. NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT.
