I wonder if I would be vetted in one of these groups or branded an
undesirable. What hoops would I have to  jump through?

Because researchers today find it HARD to get samples, while
bad guys find it easy as pie, and easier every eyar.

That is a problem that needs solving. Let;s discuss other
solutions than?
:)

I find email, open UNC's, and unfirewalled machines quite effective. It's
like high speed fishing for steel pellets with a magnet. You sit back,
drink
your beer, and they just come to you :)

I think your lists are a great start on a solution. Just because it
doesn't
move as fast as you would like is not a good reason to give up on it and
throw caution to the wind. You added a bunch of people in the past couple
of
days, all recommended by others who have met the trust criteria required.
I'd recommend building upon a pretty good system that you have started.
Yeah, no doubt that at some point there will be someone who shouldn't have
been trusted, but your system does due diligence and does not throw
samples
out to the script kiddies.

Cheers,

Randy
