Hi Rick,

I believe that you are correct,in figureing out who anon is !! But I am not sure if they were written by the same person. One uses the letter n in Place of the letter M in one message ,but not the other (2). Not important at this point. Does sound like a lot of bitterness towards Strike Collectors. I do believe that some Chip collctors,Not all, have a dim view of Silver Strikers. When entering the show,I had not pre registered,& showed both Membership cards,for admittance,& was told my Strikers Card was no good!! Maybe it is time that we paid the dues we now pay for both & go our seperate ways. I get the Chip Magazine, a find minimal news pertaining to Silver Strikes. Usually a message from Mary Lou our President. I do believe that if we wish to collect Strikes ,then it is our Money & time. Personally I don't have an interest in collecting Chips. Does anyone know what Casinos in Vegas have removed their Machines?
