Re: Trust
Excellent question Tara, but unfortunately there are many forms of 'trust'...
Trusting someone to tell the truth on a forum, trusting someone with your darkest secrets, trusting someone with your hard earned nest egg, trusting someone with your daughter or wife, and trusting someone with your life....
I'm very sorry to hear of your previous experiences Tara, but one should know how far to go with trust in each category. I can't speak for any other forums because I only inhabit this one, but I can't for the life of me think of anyone on here who I don't believe or trust. I would never send any money to anybody, end of.
As for me, I'm an open book, and I am what you read and see, I see no reason to make stuff up, because I cling on to the notion that one day I might have the good fortune to meet several members. There are many on here who have the same interests as me, and it would be wonderful to meet up sometime and exchange views, or just sort out the world together......
