Not being an english major or one who writes for a living I thought my message structure was pretty simple to understand! The slabbin' part had to do with Gene & Jim resigning their posts as poker tourney chairman and auctioneer.
The second part had to do with dividin' as the hobby is not big enough yet for TWO shows at the SAME TIME in the SAME CITY.....maybe that's a bit clearer!
The third part needs no explanation....it speaks for itself!

Hope this note cleared it up for you guys......three points to make......one note...all leading to the demise of our hobby.
