There's way more of 'em, they're easier to find, they're just as hot or hotter than ever and they do more things... The good 'ole days don't compare to now, IMHO.

MANY learned what they can get away with and what they can't. (Remembering ASPD's Contract Scam)
ECCIE has grown about 3 times as fast as ASPD and so has P411. Highlights: Hobbyists learned NOT to put much credit into 1 or 2 reviews, and the creditablity of the hobbyist writing the review. Newbie Providers learned from veteran providers what NOT to do or crash & burn. Not all money, is good money. Eccie is not without it's own new scams that we are still learning from.
(Remembering ECCIE's Lottery Scam) When there is money, sex, and bad people, you will always have people trying to scam the system. Security is also better now than ever before because of the mistakes made in the past. ASPD was a learning experience for many here. And we have learned how to use the info that is at our fingertips more
efficiently. I use a Quote that i used to use awhile back.

INFORMATION IS THE MOST VALUEABLE COMMODITY THERE IS.
Wouldn't you agree?
