Re: Mac Swap List

[CyberdogX86 <timaloney@earthlink.net>]

and i have to ask, how does having a lot of rules keep one from
getting screwed? won't scammers just break the rules and scam you
anyway? isn't that what makes them criminals? a disregard for the
rules?

i've never seen a criminal or conman say, "well, it 's against the
rules, guess i can't operate here".
