Please add my own thanks for your volunteer work Jim. 
BTW, I still send folks to the old Cyclofiend.com site to see the bikes I 
was fortunate enough to add there. If you need contributions to help defray 
any costs of maintaining it in place, let us know.

 Putting on the admin cap this morning:

 I had a couple of members reach out to me regarding some interactions 
 following a "WTB/WTT" posting.

 They were contacted directly by a "member" who had just what they 
 wanted. Luckily, both of the original posters did a bit of due diligence 
 and realized that the images had been pulled from other forums, and the 
 person who contacted them had some fairly sketchy responses. Both 
 individuals wisely stepped away from the transaction. 

 This is a reminder that it's up to you to verify the validity of anyone 
 with whom you are dealing. One quick way to do so is by searching 
 conversations in this group under the person's email address. In this case 
 the "member" who exhibited hinky behavior had been in this group for all 
 of 
 6 days. They had not contributed to any conversations and were still 
 moderated. 

 Bear in mind that a moderated/unknown member can still contact you 
 directly. That's what this individual did in these cases. 

 As a reminder, if you are engaging in transactions, the onus is upon 
 you to confirm identity and validity of the person and conditions. Ask 
 questions. Require an image with today's newspaper or some other 
 verifiable, unique aspect. Search them in the group. 
 In other words, "Trust, but verify."

 Thankful, as always, for all of you in this group.
