I have had a hobbyist who is verified ask me to "trade" in order to get verified by him. Now to me that sort of defeats the purpose of this system I mean I thought we were supposed to get verified by men who decided by choice and quality of time to go ahead abd verify. I told him no and I was not rude in any way when really I wanted to tell him that just because I do what I do doesnt mean I will give myself up to him or anyone else to gain a verified status. Just because I do what I do does not make me easy and I may be a lot of things but stupid is not one of them. Is this behavior by a "verified hobbiest" ok and am I over reacting or what???
