Sorry to hear of your postage misfortune. Please keep in mind that the folks on here treasure their chips and their reputation. If what you say is true, than I will apologize personally for "piling on". However, in addition to forgetting a stamp, at the same time you went on vacation and all in congress with a change in you email address, you might be willing to accept some fault in this here situation. I actually spend a great deal of time in Maine, and you are right, it is beautiful. Perhaps you should spend some more time there and calm yourself, making veiled threats about visiting Las Vegas not only will not further endure you to the group but might actually drive a wedge further between some already bruised relationships. You returned the chip because of a bad vibe, I don't begrudge you that, but perhaps its best to chalk it up to a simple misunderstanding and let it go at that. Posting numerous times does not change the fact that you made a mistake. Get past it, I never hold grudges and neither should you.
