Your reply to my post does not address what I was saying at all. What does the "courting" of somebody have to do with objectivity on SMBs? I can see limiting the number of posts by certain posters. It makes sense that all opinions are heard and that no one poster can dominate the board.... but beyond that, positng of negative comments consistently is just one voice of many.

And why on earth would anybody attempt to get paid by the person being courted..?

Why on earth would the person being courted want to give up any of the potential settlement??

interesting theories here.
