you have opted to delete your previous message (which I believe was a duplicate of this one) and then re-post it here, especially in light of the fact that your previous message had some replies that have gone unanswered.

Whats up with that?

BTW-I'm not sure anyone was taking you to task for the personal anguish and misery taking place in and around Katrina's path of destruction, I think they were questioning sales and marketing ploy.

I have yet to hear of any demise or loss of gaming chips from the disaster. And unless you know something we do not, how is it that you can imply (or even state as fact) that any chips from those locations will be hard to come by or even rare?

In the event that the chips survived the destruction (perhaps they were removed before the storm hit) and the casino closes for good, then there is every reason that the chips will never, ever be rare or hard to come by.

I think that some people are only upset with your marketing ploy that would only work against against the uninformed. Such an action/activity has the appearance of being contrary to your pledge (the Code of Ethics) to not deal from a position of superior knowledge (see item 9 at this link: http://www.ccgtcc.com/code_of_ethics.html ).

In summation, I am asking you these questions (on this message board) because this is your second post of protest and you have failed to respond to the reasonable questions posted in reply to that first post.

Respectfully,

Jim Follis
