One doesn't have to "wade" through hundreds of messages. For the most part, the non-chip related posts all have "NCR" in the subject line. The and or are also easy to spot and skip if you choose.

I find the Chipboard easy to navigate and can easily skip the posts that I don't wish to read.

There are plenty of chip-related posts and I've managed to learn more from reading them than from any printed publication.

The other non-chip posts such as ashtrays, matchbooks, tokens and other casino memorabilia are always interesting and I learn something new from each one of them.

I think the combination of all the different subjects, posts, opinions, etc. are what makes the Chipboard so nice.

I, for one, hope Greg never changes the Chipboard.

Just my one and a half cents...
