I've traded with depechbnkn before - not sure if I have traded with Rob999 before or not. But having scoured this thread of all posts from January 1st, 2013, I can say with a little bit of validity that Rob is a solid trader and despite not doing the amounts of a guy like depech, he does have a point and it deserves to be more than just scoffed at, in my opinion.
I think this raises a bit of a point that has been brewing here for some time. We've all pretty much looked the other way when it comes to those who do "business" in trading - what I mean is, those who buy and sell to make a profit and do it regularly. Personally, as I have said, I have dealt with depech before and he came through when I needed dough the most. I didn't care about paying a little more in vigorish than what I should have at the time, because I needed the money. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this regard.
But the fact he trades a lot, and the fact he does such volume, shouldn't give him any less scrutiny than any other trader gets for not being on the ball when it comes to getting prompt payment to a trader. Rob posted valid concerns in my view, and got a little heated when sometime later he still hadn't been reciprocated. Hey - I've been there too. You feel like you can't do anything, and whether it's $1 or $10,000, it doesn't matter. That money may have meant quite a lot to the guy trading it.
Perhaps we should have a little more debate on whether or not this portion of the trading rules is honestly in effect:

I know if it had been me, someone who has made nearly 60 trades in this thread (maybe worth $3.5k or so - nothing huge), and I was not constantly communicating to someone I was supposed to reciprocate for a trade and let things go more than a few hours, I would expect to be held accountable for that by the community (and the person I was trading with by posting about it). That should be the way it is for everyone here - not just the lower-volume guys.
Just my two cents here, for whatever it might be worth.
