MTABSW,
Just an observation.....you've been on Eccie for 2 years, was on ASPD before that I think, have 17 reviews here, have a P411 membership and over 600 posts. Why would a provider waste her time and effort screening you? Seriously?

Also, men don't always post the TRUTH of what they are like BCD. Maybe he does something BCD that isn't for everyone. Or maybe he has something that he really likes done in a certain way. I'd like to know those things, too.
The only way to find these kind of things out, is by screening. Just because someone can post on a message board, doesn't mean what they are posting is the truth, believe it or not.
Screening is anything BUT a waste of time. While posts should be taken into consideration, any provider who screens solely based on length of time in the hobby, reviews, and post counts, doesn't take this too seriously and will eventually figure out why that's a bad idea LOL
