Alan, I think you are out of line attacking Archie. He's not into this for the profit. I assume that you are aware that he was the founder of the "silly club" you refered to that now has several hundred members. You are certainly not obligated to join. You can enjoy collecting strikes without joining the club or reading this forum. I happen to think that Archie is correct about his statement concerning John Sander's constant negative posts. Also, Archie has always been one of the best supporters of new people into the chip/strike collecting hobby. He doesn't deserve the kind of reply you gave him.
