      8eaa0a85       From: dahoov2@cox.net              I am guessing that's a good question to discuss... why be a member of       the UACC if you are not going to abide by their code/mantra or       whatever. I would assume that when you join, you take an oath of       sorts (at least agree somewhere to follow); however it's up to the       organization to make sure their members are kosher. Applicants should       go through a screening process and then after, they should       occasionally police their members. Otherwise, what are you paying for       other than the privledge of having a name attached to legally sell       forgeries etc? I am sure a lot of forgers squeaked by or at least try       to. It's obvious the entity probably started somewhere with two       people starting a group (like any two of us) and had ideas. Just like       the owners of this newsgroup... where are they? What's the history?       I haven't looked but hopefully they have an archive somewhere; a file       cabinet with all their stuff. One day who knows, could grow to be       like Masons, Elks, or any other type organization where history will       be important (for staying power, longevity and documentation will be       needed).              But they aren't big enough (probably just a few guys running it?       Maybe even one or two?) to police everything. You do need to do what       my hubby had to do for his job... it's called QAE or Quality Assurance       Evaluations. You spot check say quarterly x amount of people to spot       check and then give them warnings etc as needed.              On Sun, 23 Mar 2008 21:22:43 -0700 (PDT), barefoot        |
