"Hearsay", Don, is nothing more or less than evidence based on the statements of others, rather than on personal knowledge.

Since you have finally chosen to speak directly regarding my posts, perhaps now you'd like to answer the three questions posed on the club board by Pete Sanders:

1) Did Joe Benon tell you at the time you purchased the $2.50 pink Harrah's brass core that it was not genuine? (Saying you are satisfied with the transaction does not answer this question.)

2) Did you know at the time you purchased the chip that it was not genuine? If so how did you know? (Saying you are satisfied with the transaction does not answer this question.)

3) If you answered yes to either of the above questions . . . Why did you indicate that after a test became available you changed your mind and now believed the chip to be nongenuine?
