PIF where you send out hard copies does not work,I have tried this with Rikter,ADM,and others back in the day,and it NEVER worked NEVER!

DJ, I realize that there are selfish types that take advantage of the PIF system. I don't have as much experience with this as you, but in my experience the PIF "net" becomes so wide that everybody usually gets what they want in the end, even when the selfish types don't play fair. PIF is voluntary, so if you don't feel like taking a gamble, you don't have to participate. It's been worth it for me (so far).

Come to think of it, I really wish we had some kind of PIF rating system, so that we could root out the cheaters.

yes a rating system would be nice so you can see who the selfish idiot or idiots are that broke the chain,but hey if someone starts a PIF chain by all means,go for it dude,and you say you get it eventually,well why not just invest a little time and effort and very small amounts of $ and get the edit within hours after it is released,hell most of us had Ady's xvid an hour or even a little less after it was posted,and it will only take 2-3 hours to get the SL DVD when posted 4-5 for the DL,isn't that alot better than hoping you get a hard copy from someone that may break the chain?

after all these selfish people know there is nothing any of us can do to them,that is why they do it.
