Not only does that provide some control and influence to the pros as a group (big egos, right), but theoretically if done right it should allow a better total experience searching the forums (not to mention encourage better content-not that it isn't great!).

When I don't read posts in any thread, it's not that I'm ignoring folks or have no respect for opinions, but more to the fact that my comment may or may not be addressing anyone other than the OP AND that my comment has nothing to do with others influencing my comment, so with that;If you imply you're the owner or advertise as an owner, much less claim you are, when you are wholesaling you are dealing fraudulently, plain and simply, it's fraud.
