Sometimes a particular topic not attracting any response is NOT a function of its perfection in stating all that there is to say on that topic.

The Bible is the world's best-selling book - yet Christian charity remains in short supply? Perhaps it is easier to bump and thump.
The lack of responses is because this thread wasn't intended to generate responses. It was intended to be a relatively concise overview of a littany of Prosper issues, to serve as a primer for new lenders that discover the Lobby.
Sounds like you've not discovered the Wiki. It's featured on the Prospers.org homepage, more prominently than the
