Where did I say that I decided to trust them? I was clear about cautiously
checking them out, I think. I do see things posted in newsgroups from time to
time that lead me to reputably organizations; it isn't ALWAYS connected to

site, regardless of how they may hear about it.  Of course, I did expect a
few rhetorical posts in response...
