I guess so, you guys have seen more then I have, but to give the girls a pass of 24 hours is insane--if you did have a backup plan or two then that would be cancellations with them.
A week in advance is also a long time, and then having to confirm that date as the week progresses and having to wait 24 hours for a confirmation, nobody here is doing that.
But, I do stand by my comment, if someone is saying 24 hours is acceptable (and sometimes it probably did not matter) but to say that is okay then you are probably protecting someone with bad communication skills.
It don't have to be a pimp that handles messages for another girl, it could just be a friend--at least she's trying to be responsive.
And there are hundreds of contributors on this site that do not post reviews, I'm pretty sure that they would not be here if they are not active in the hobby.

And not trying to change the subject, but reviews help add to your credibility!!
Furthermore, when I am traveling, I usually contact a provider a few days in advance to try to set up the appointment. I do so out of respect for her. I realize that she may have a life away from the hobby, kids, job, etc. So, some times it may take her a while to answer. Not everyone can just drop what they are doing and respond right away. It is called respect for the other person....
