I have no stake in the matter. Any sensitive information would be lost.


Opens up the floor for future liability issues, I'm sure you've run into that sort of conundrum before.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Privacy is but a function of identifiers and time. Strip either and it becomes a nonissue.


The problem is it strips out interesting parts of a story that make it complete.
*Shrugs*
But maybe that's just me.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I’m certain you have several of your own to share. And it appears that we have time.


You wouldn’t be wrong. The question is more of how much of my story would be a breach of privacy. Those stories tend to get… Messy.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Fortunately, most of my encounters aren’t subject to a tragic end. But those make for dull stories, eh?


*Wags my finger up and down at you, grinning*
Now you’re speaking my language.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>

At risk of the appearance of a conversation loop, it ended unfavorably for all parties involved.


You’re going to make me start thinking you’re a fan of that outcome, man.

I’ve often had people bring me to other people who had information as payment. I know exactly what you mean, from experience.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Which should exclude the entity from future trades, should word spread. The market is self-correcting.


Not a factor that matters to everyone. But I digress, we’re derailing slightly. I do see what you mean now.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Say, for instance, I had the means to help you today but no willingness. Or information, but no drive to hand it over. Trading favors can be a rich currency when material gains are insufficient.


Sounds like a form of taking an IOU for anything, which I have been cheated on a few times.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Favors could amount to more than tasks. Sometimes they may prove themselves invaluable.


Elaborate a little.
