the no scorekeeping was highlited for a reason, right? scorekeeping is a great tool to decide who deserves trust. trust, once broken can almost never be fixed.

chose who you trust carefully, because on the net its much harder to learn who is worthy of that special gift.

Its about Trust..
'Trust' indicates a depth and a sense of assurance that is based on strong but not logically-conclusive evidence, or based on the character, ability, or truth shown by someone or something over time or across situations. Trust makes for a sense of being safe or of being free of fear, enough so your focus can be on other matters because that matter is taken care of. It becomes easier to simply enjoy life. Trust breeds confidence and conviction.
No human is totally trustworthy.
No human is totally untrustworthy.
No human can always trust themselves.
No human is totally trusting of any one other person.
Trust is a risk. We leave ourselves open for loss. Betrayal of trust hurts so much because the lost sense of security multiplies the damage.
Some keys to building trust :
1. Communicate. Say accurately what you are doing, and don't assume others 'just know'. Also helpful : suggest some way they can help out.
2. Do what you've communicated. Nothing is more important to building trust than actions which match the words, non-verbal cues, and stated reasons. (I mean, actions that don't have to have 'spin' to make them seem like they match.
)
3. No scorekeeping. The game of tit-for-tat does not create a sense of trust. Quit reminding others of what they did wrong in the past. Focus on what's happening now.
4. Look in the mirror.
Are you giving other people reason to distrust you? Were you acting this same way in a past instance where you were shown unworthy of trust?
5. Repetition. Each time you act in a trustworthy manner, you earn more trust. After a while, the trust starts adding up. Be thorough about it : build trust in every matter, big or small.
6. Show trust. People who are trusted are more likely to trust. Most people actually are trustworthy in most matters most of the time. Trust them, and the trust may spread. (That doesn't mean blind trust, which is a way to become an untrustworthy person's enabler.)

I've got enough protection on this thing that it's like fort Knox, but still all that mess does slow it down some. I'll take the slower speed to losing all my valuable information. Hope she gets it sorted soon! DC! We miss you even if only for a day!

When Priest came through last year if you didn't go to the venue to buy the tickets or Live nation, you were going to pay exhorbitant amounts! Up to over $1,000.00 US dollars! I couldn't believe people would even trust these sites! Scary business!
