Hi appro! -For evaluating posters: On any of "your" own past posts- If you click on "your" underlined name above, it will take you to "your profile". There you will see the places you've "posted comments". Then try poking them, and it sends you around to those places you poke. Just hit the "back button" each time to get back to check out the other places you've been as well. "BUT" -it works the same for the "OTHER" peoples names as well, so you can see the date they started, where they've been, etc. (poke post "#s" next to the name and you can fly backwards -in specific conversations too!!! (took a while to catch on) ******** Of "3" I have "noticed" as promising members, I am rather humbled because "2" of them already said they will become permanent members! (mostly due to simply talking to them by posting, or by a private message). I'm actually pretty sure the third one will do that too! (His name is SS. I think he has good intuition) ********* This way, perhaps: 1) We can notice and help good "people with potential" to join, (not just anyone who has some money.) 2) And check credibility (though I'll bet some with only a few posts can be pretty smart) 3) And S.I. will more easily keep the quality of posters up (because we are helping to choose them)(who better?) 4) To say nothing about new friendships that can be made by demonstrating to them their S.I. Trial was a good move. Dave
