~~~ those who want to just simply be polite, helpful and considerate of others who might not have the time to visit the board once or twice a day, but only once or twice a week -- if even that often... and the posters who use the NCR probably feel that those who are only intersted in chip/chip related topics shouldn't have to wade thru all the other posts having nothing, whatsover, to do with what they're only interested in.

Personally, I feel this BBS is more than a chip/chip related message board -- and probably others such as you and myself who have been here from Day-1 do as well, and I can fully understand when someone with little time to visit simply asks that others please use NCR... We (myself inclueded) have joked about it or even openly refused to even consider a well-mannered request... but maybe we should just try and help out where it would be a lot more helpful for those who could care less about anything else besides chips...

I didn't know there was that much to write about chips...
