I had always wanted to post something similar when I was doing Health and Life insurance for self employed/ small businesses here, not so much as a way to find business, but more to help the people in our "club" that pay for their own crap and could use my expertise, especially always seeing grumpage about the costs and questions surrounding insurance....But also felt I didn't want to step on any toes with the sponsors for this site.......Would be a truly beneficial forum, but also could be a double edged sword with competition.......Hate to mix business and play....same line as family and money........

That's always been the worry redlite. The benefits are obvious but the potential problems are the same as we sometimes see in the Buy Sell Trade Forum. Someone comes out of a deal feeling screwed and then they blame the site for allowing it to happen when the site is really just acting like a bulletin board in these cases.

Tough call!

Agreed with the 2 posts above. Real double edged sword.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

I agree on the double sword and think things should be handled on a case by case, maybe have it reviewed based on how large the job is or how reputable that individual is,and I also feel that a percentage should be given back to the site and if there is any extra money in the S-B kitty could it be passable to have a S-B function or two?

Live bait sharp hooks and timing is all you need

I'm pretty sure JohnR has been talking about this for quite sometime. but he has many logs on the fire as you guys know...........

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

ALL FOR IT

I cant really offer up any services other than being someone who would hire folks from this site. I have already received advice and help from several of you and have to say the people have all been great. I would certainly always try to help out a fellow SB'er than someone else, never looking for deals, just honesty in service.
