i order through seedbanks, as long established seedbanks are in general professional about their business, but to share or exchange beans with an average person on RIU is dangerous imo, firstly you are in fact giving away your real ID as well as an address to find you, what if the person you are giving away you name and address to is a stickup artist? also i dont doubt there are professional growers who have been busted yet are offered no charges & freedom to continue operations as long as a stream of info about people(possibly from sites like this)involved in the trade are relayed back to the relevant bodies...again for instance i share my ID with eg Marc Greenway, say Marc isnt so keen on PC security & he gets busted, fuzz checks his PC & log into Marcs RIU account, there in Marcs RIU pm's is my personal info & messages of seed exchanges.. the list goes on why its not safe to offer your personal details to people on RIU, its a great place to learn & share ideas...fantastic!, ive learnt heaps & am very grateful for the help offered by fellow RIU brethren, & i hope ive helped folk in some way, but sharing personal details is off limits for me, hope all keep safe!
