I don't appreciate the implication.

     i too raised a brow over this amazing list of goodies.  i apologize if 
     we're questioning your integrity; but the sad fact remains that folk 
     occasionally get burned in these faceless transactions (anyone recall 
     the name of Gil Gershman and his myriad of email addresses and 
     pseudonyms?).  i think a few folk are put off by the fact that we 
     haven't seen your name pop up a whole lot (at least, not on the 
     ambient listserv), and no-one i've touched base with recalls having 
     dealt with you.  this is why i asked for a few trader references, and 
     why i'm put off in that you couldn't provide any.  i write all this 
     with the unease of knowing that i might be doubting a truly honest 
     trader.  if that is the case, please accept my genuine apologies, and 
     throw the interested parties on this list some sort of bone when asked 
     for references.
