I was once accused of taking a PM, changing it and forwarding it to a third party. Never happened. Never received the "PM" in the first place and neither did the person I supposedly forwarded it to... confirmed by the person I supposedly forwarded it to. Don't ask how it all ended... I'll just say, *I* am still here.

That sounds bizzare but it only reinforces what has been said above... you might think you "know" a fellow Mudcatter, especially if they have been here for a while and they go to festivals in various countries and meet up with other Mudcatters and whatever. Unless they are well known and actively involved in the Mudcat community, watch yerself.

Back to the OP. I guess I was essentially wrong. Although I still believe I was, am, ethically right, barring extreme circumstances, of course.
