I wasn't trying to impugn either your or Mike's integrity, I was tryng to make a point about human nature. I run a fantasy football league, (certainly not of the scope of running PB) but I put certain checks in play, not just to keep myself honest - but to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
It is re-assuring to someone new to the league (I keep hearing about attracting new managers) and it provides set out guidlines that re easikly pointed out when stepped over.
