Having read a lot of the other threads, I'm still stuck. I don't know how a rookie gets the necessary references to meet with a provider without making themselves vulnerable. As a person for whom discretion and the complete and total avoidance of LE is a number 1 priority, I totally understand why the screening process is not only necessary, but healthy and beneficial for everyone involved. In fact, I'm all for it. The trouble is that it's a chicken or egg issue. I don't plan to be a frequent hobbiest, but I would love to establish a relationship with one person (maybe 2) whom I could visit with on a semi-recurrent basis.
Is there a way to be screened without becoming a member of a screening website? I don't want any of my information out there if I can avoid it, but I'm beginning to think there's no way around it.
Just looking for advice here. Feel free to PM me if that's a better way to go.
Cheers
Robinson
