One thing to consider Jody and Scott...

If you guys are the only ones hearing both sides of the story and deciding the real truth and which vendors stay and which ones go, in essence you are vouching for ALL the vendors that are sponsors on the site... You are by defacto giving your endorsement of everything that vendor does

In other words if I spend a lot of $$ with a sponsor and then they screw me or I have a terrible experience, I' not only pissed at them but I'm pissed at you because you vouched for them by being the sole judge of their business ethics

For me, that's kinda sticking my neck out more than I would want...

Right now there is some tie to the sponsors by having them sponsor your site but not nearly as much as if you guys are the sole "judge" of the company
