Just read some reviews of a soon to be visiting provider. Saw CBJ and moved on. Reviews provide us so much, even without ROS access.
No offense to the providers on here who are beautiful and sweet in the sheets, but there are BP providers periodically who make my tongue hang out and, well, other things. However, I am not going to drop $200+ to find out what I'm actually going to get. And neither I nor they will discuss it on the phone.
I remember a thread like this a while back where Nash had the universal solution: "Just ask if they are a 5-star provider." Not sure exactly what that means and no confidence that they will say anything but "Yes".
This may not be a "thread" and may go nowhere, but at the very least, Thank you to Eccie and thank you to the ladies who belong. Knowledge and communication let me bleep as I please. (I hate the term hobby)
