You do not have to be a member of the CC>CC to post here - nor are you required to post here if you are a member. The reason the board requests you post your email address is that you will be notified when someone responds to your posting. If you do not wish to receive those notices - or include your email address - be sure to uncheck the box at the bottom of the post so Greg does not get unwanted "can not deliver" messages. If you are concerned about someone getting your email address just set up an account at one of the free site - like Hotmail - and just use it when you post here. I think you will be surprised at how little junk mail this will generate.

As for collecting chips - it is a great hobby - don't let your feelings about the board keep you from all the enjoyment that can come from fooling about with these wonderful little pieces of clay.

Have a good day.....
