that I'm spamming the board, Chuck, but I've asked repeatedly if it's offending anyone, and all I get are responses from people telling me how much they're enjoying seeing the chips. I never post the same chip more than once, and it's always a wide variety.

I'm still an active member of this board - I don't just post advertising messages. I also am a very active member of the hobby. I'm membership officer of my local club, I write a regular article for the CCTN, and I manage and host a Beginner's FAQ of 200+ questions on the net. And I also still collect and trade chips. But for some reason, you want to depict me as a money-grubbing dealer, not a hobbyist?

I'm sorry if it's offensive to you. Until we became a competitor of yours, you always treated me well. Heck, when I was a customer of yours, you treated me like gold! You were my favorite person in the hobby!

Now all I get from you are antagonistic and derogative posts in a public forum, and it saddens me. And for what? Because I'm trying hard to build a good service in the hobby? Because I'm too competitive with you? Because our prices are lower than yours?

You never contact me privately and you never respond to me when I respond to your posts privately, so maybe you'll respond here to this.

To everyone else:

Once again, I feel obligated to ask the good people of the board if they would like me to quit posting all the new chips on the board. If I get more negative responses than positives, I'll be happy to stop.
