   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.
