Are you saying that lower standards are OK when dealing with strangers?
And as far as "knowing" one another. I'd bet 90% of the Forum members have not met more than 3 people on this Forum out of the 10,000 registered. And a large percentage of those that have have only done so as part of a Forum dinner once or twice. We are hardly well known to each other personally here...
But I'm all for higher standards...here and everywhere in my opinion...

How much contact do have with someone when buying or selling on the boards versus buying or selling on eBay? The ones that I have bought from and sold to on here I would consider to be friends. There isn't any eBay transaction that carries the same trust factor as a transaction here would nor should it, unless that person would also be a board member. Sweet, I have it on record. I'm Doc's friend. Yes, I admit it.
Isn't admitting the problem the first step on the road to recovery?
