FYI you are now on my trust list.
Quickseller is not and will never be Wink
but i keep Vod; although i dont share his opinion about ms keys (eg. EULAS are worth nothing in my country)
my trust list in case someone is interested in it (suggestions welcome); i use trust depth 1:
...
Luke-Jr
...

...I don't trust anyone that trusts Luke-Jr...

I would suggest having any sort of Default Trust list something that should be Opt-In (read: They have to press a button or select a checkbox in their account preferences to enable Default Trust listings for their account)

Ideally, each user should start with a blank trust list, and build it up themselves over time based on their own experiences here on the forums.

We can't enforce this on newbies. Newbies don't know who to trust and who shouldn't. So default trust list is needed. When they understand more about this trust sytem, they will change their trust list. We shouldn't enforce them to change because there are many people who don't want to change and people who don't care. Persons who know about trust system, alter their trust list.

* Here, Newbies refers to both noobs to Bitcointalk and noobs to trust system.
