Now for you right wing folk that habituate that other forum, you may want to look away since it is from the "semiT kroY weN" (If you read it with a mirror it won't cast a spell on you). The article explains that for centuries there have been reviews and guidebooks (now called hooker review boards) that described, cataloged and promoted the distaff members of the demimonde. We ECCIElonians are just part of a long and rich tradition of reporting the cummings and goings of the hobby. So we ain't that special after all.
