Due to my investigation into whom I believe to be the OLD PEST poster along with the investigation Andy Hughes made regarding Richard Hirsch's shill bidding on his own auctions, I am asking that the Chapter Officers take immediate action to...

IMMEDIATELY REVOKE RICHARD HIRSCH'S CURRENT MEMBERSHIP AND BAN HIM FOR LIFE

Although the posting situation is trivial the SHILL bidding is NOT!

Richard Hirsch's SHILLING act was effectively stealing from fellow members and the public. We afforded him the FREEDOM and GENEROSITY to come here on the Chapter's Bulletin Board and advertise his auctions, touting himself as a MEMBER. He is now probably laughing in our faces the fact that he has been found out.

I understand that Richard Hirsch did NOT renew his CC&GTCC membership and that it will not be renewed according to Ralph Myers (Membership Officer) in a reply message to Andy Hughes' inquiry. The Chapter should follow the same course as the CC&GTCC.
