Message	You can't protect people from scammers. Have you heard the saying, "When you idiot-proof something, nature will create a better idiot"?. Nothing rings more true in this situation. People get scammed because they let themselves be. No amount of coddling by the forum will help. Requiring a minimum hit count is easy to work around. A buddy system excludes good sellers as well as bad. Why punish the legit guy? Addresses are already required to post in classifieds. Feedback is easy to skew if you want to screw somebody over. The answer is so easy. Do your homework. No matter how hard you try you can't protect people from themselves. _________________________________________________ Jonathan Howlett AIM-JRHZ32 1993 Ultra Red Twin Turbo 1990 Pearl Yellow Twin Turbo(Deceased)
