r11co Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) Come on folks, get some perspective here! Our community is a proverbial [censored] in the ocean compared to the number of players (sellers and buyers) in the rep watch market. OK, so there's a chance it is someone we know, but panicking over this is a bit premature and over-reactionary.

OK, so there's a chance it is someone we know, but panicking over this is a bit premature and over-reactionary. don't think anybody is panicking....just worried that it isn't someone who we know... and of couse that the rep market is a little bigger than this what is going on our forums... read somewhere that 40 milions of reps are produced every year...and this is only what i've read...maybe even more are produced!
