I tend to agree with daloff, except in two critical areas--I don't see the board as a "haven", and the maintaining of integrity is certainly not snobbery. Knowledge is power and as Earlyporsche said, I thank Al for the information on this scammer. To me, this is still the most credible forum I have found and it's due to the basic honesty and ethics of the members (you too, Wayne
.) This forum has always held it's members to a "higher standard" through the peer pressure of the contributors. Yes, the con artists are here ("con" being short for "confidence") and they will always operate in an environment of trust such as this board. The one thing, IMO, that we cannot let them steal is that trust and the efforts of members like Browzer52 and others to inform and pursue, protects us all.
Sorry for the rant--coffee's a bit strong this morning.
