My feeling is... It will be time to shut CCC down. If ICD thinks the cost of
keeping CCC open is to much of an expense. And they claim they get no benefits
from CCC.(BS) Even when I, and I'm sure other here support ICD by buying all my
chess produce here at ICD. It may be time disregard the sake down, and look some
other place for our products. IMO
