Cowman, I have read and re-read both your post and the replies to be as objective as possible. While I believe your suggestion was made with the best intentions in mind, and I agree that sometimes we leave ourselves vulnerable to less scrupulous people, on balance, I think that the format for this forum is as we all would wish all forums to be. I think if we were to set up a link where membership vis-a-vis Aditional screen name, and password were required for entrance, then we end up with an elite group and deny each the input that attracts us here in the first place. We would be speaking to the choir in a sense because the wealth of information and experiences would be left at the door. I have to say that I have learned volumns here since I have been comming to this forum, buth from the "Pros", but also from the experiences of novices who may make a mistake that is shared so that I wont have to make it myself. I have gone to the Puller's forum on occasion, and have seen what happens, even in an open forum, when competing ideas as opposed to shared ideas on the rest of the forums. I realize that spammers and scamers can be a pain, but I think most of us have shared enough experiences with both that we should know by now how to discern what is legitimate and what isn't. Therefore, it is my opinion that YTMAG has done everything it can to create a positive atmosphere for all of us, and it is up to us to keep it that way and not to create a cumbersome format that will benefit a few but exclude others. We need everyone, and everyone's input openly. Thanks for your suggestion, Cowman, as it made me think before I responded.
