Bummer. I sure do appreciate the hesitation to engage in a lynchin' before the facts are known. I, too, prefer to believe that people are good and honest. I'd like to believe that we've found a good little on line "community" here in the best sense of that word.
Jim posted a little while ago about folks who join the group simply to post FS or Trade items. I have to wonder if this person was one of those. I've been considering putting a bunch of stuff up for sale on the RBW group, but I've been hesitant because of dealing with the financial transactions. I'd like to think I could trust folks and that people would trust me. I'd hope that most folks would think I was OK because I've posted regularly and, I hope, helpfully. I guess I'd be looking for the same kind of track record from anyone I'd sell or trade something with. I hope this resolves well.
