Best wishes for Chip.
For all the crap he takes he has been a really good reporter. He tries to do things by confirmation and old school reporting which sometimes did not mesh with the "I need it NOW" mentality of the connected generation.
I found him to be a great source to balance the insiders information, that sometimes came so close to the source that the contect could be scewed. Both have their part to play and helped keep us in the know as much as possible.
I have been a member of OB since 03 and while I do not spend much time there anymore, thanks to HS, I did enjoy going over there and reading Chip's take on things.
One more, very big, reason thatI will be spending even less time over there.
