Read my post again.  I am postulating the situation where an accepted 
member of this community, following all advertising rules, places an ad 
which gets a response by some "nefarious" individual.  Is the advertiser at 
fault or expected to investigate the motives of each buyer?

Now, postulate, an accepted but "economically-driven" member places an ad 
(knowing full well that some "nefarious" type will see it and make an offer 
to buy).  Is this advertiser at fault?   How does ANY policy separate the 
chickens from the foxes?

Do we really want unenforceable rules?  Tell us how the editor is supposed 
to separate postulate A from B?  Or write us a policy that will accomplish it.

I double dare you. <GGGG>
