<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 2439718, member: 22602&quot;]CAC and the TPGs are analogous to the FDA only in a superficial way (i.e., as &quot;watchdogs&quot;) but they are not in any way sanctioned by law (the government). It&#039;s the free market that allows CAC to exist in the first place, just as it allows unscrupulous coin doctors, over-grading dealers, snake oil salesmen and foolish consumers to exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure I agree that CAC and the TPGs (I&#039;ll save the FDA) have tendrils that extend beyond their putative roles in the hobby. They&#039;re businesses that provide a service in hopes of making money. If you&#039;re implying nefarious intent, where do you draw the line? Is Weightwatchers nefarious because they prey upon dieters with low self-esteem? Is CAC as &quot;evil&quot; as Payday Loans? Etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
