David relayed a helpful piece of information for anyone interested in the chip. A simple thanx would have sufficed.

Anything else is irrelevant. Whether he spoke with the seller or emailed him, what difference does it make. What David said was what was important. What David said was accurate.

I really doubt that he'll bother responding to a post like yours.

BTW, are you a bidder? I'm sure a bidder would appreciated any info regarding a chip like that.
