The interesting thing though is that this happy little level pyramid you so greatly covet is finite, there are only a certain amount of trackers and private bit torrent communities which invite members and at the top of the food chain in trackers or forums being a trader is a huge minus. Most of the people that really covet the levels are only collectors anyway, and need to have the latest talked about tracker as soon as it becomes popular, but then of course they get to the invisible wall, the truly private communities that do not wish to have publicity or have extremely strict rules on membership, but the thirst for the next tracker is can't be fixed by trading any more in fact traders are actively hunted. So they switch off the rep points change their username and avatar and become enlightened (pun intended) saying that trade is bad. I have seen this time and time again, the hardcore traders trying to justify what they do, the fence sitters gathering splinters while trading in private, and then the sudden realisation and change of heart................. collectors all of you, its pathetic.
