Hi Ted; I've taken the liberty of posting your recent excellent article on www.thechipboard.com regarding the abuses in the card hobby .... and tried to relate it to the abuses we are seeing develop in the chip hobby. Fortunately, we are mounting a grass roots effort to stop this craziness from catching hold in our hobby. Our concentrated efforts are beginning to bear fruit. If you will read the posts immediately below mine ... you will see what is happening in the chips hobby for yourself. You might want to report our comparative experiences in our hobby in a future card column in the Daily News.

Happy holidays, Archie Black
