HDKing,
you were thinking the same thing as me...after someone got burned on the PIF last weekend, I was wondering if there shouldn't be some sort of initiation trade that can be worked out, like no trading on the PIF or TTT unless you have successfully completed a PIB. There are a lot of generous people on these boards, and I would hate to see that all end because of someone like gamelover, pimpstickdaddy, or someone new making a lot of noise (of which there seems to be a lot lately). I think it would just be a good idea to use some caution and common sense before packaging up your best sticks and sending them to someone unfamiliar.
