Thanks for the info on the big cats. Hmmm wonder if i can mate my cat with something that doesn't destroy furniture. Anyway. From my pov it's pretty obvious why the ptb have tried to ditch this subject (merchants not cats). The merchants, no matter how... er... er... 'amateurish', make money. They are a commodity and Rosity will protect them because they make money for the site. Fair enough, but at the cost of the poor old buyer who gets the shitty end of the stick again. Personally, I like the idea of merchants having to do a 'freebie apprenticship' before being allowed to sell in the marketplace. Jack (screw the typos)
