It sounded like Steve got some (in his words) nasty emails as a result of your cute little contest. He sent it to me as an apology. I emailed to him that it wasn't necessary, but it was something he really wanted to do...so he sent it.

You think YOU are disappointed...try having a NIS provider that you have admired, and respected for 5+ years totally make a fool out of you over the loss of some business. Although it is true that I probably would have never bought any newly released chips from you again because of your higher prices, I WAS still planning on buying other chips that you put up for sale on the chipboard. There are many that you have posted lately that I would like to add to my collection. Unfortunately, your immature actions prevent me from doing so. I will never forgive you, Chuck. No worries though, I will find the chips I am looking for from someone else, or go without them. (By the way..it only took one email for me to find another NIS dealer.) I do still think you are an asset to the chipping community, but you also have a short fuse, and a spiteful personality. Both of which cause you to look very unprofessional.

This will hopefully be my last communication with you on this or any other topic. I am bored with it, and have said all I need to say. So go ahead and play your "well centered" games on the chipboard. They are pretty funny to read, but I will not be posting any replies to them. It will be interesting to see how long you can drag this well centered thing out. It kinda gives us a special bond doesn't it.

Be well (centered) Chuck,
