why are not providers screened?

Johnson. Hugh Johnson.

Don't know how many times I have to say this. I hobby all the time, just go about it differently than many of you. I'm sure the way I do it is safer for me, and fairer. I don't need to "grow a pair" of anything. If that's your definition, that I'll take risks I don't need to take, just to please you, then can ask you the same thing. If you require screening to see a male customer, then why don't you grow a pair Sensual? Are you afraid or somthing? Of course you are. And so am I. Not so much afraid really, just not wreckless, and neither are you.

So we're all crooks because hobbying is illegal? Sorry to break this to you but hobbying is not illegal so long as solicitation doesn't occur. And if it were illegal, that still wouldn't make us crooks. A crook is someone dishonest in business and life, out to harm others, like the scamsters we're trying to weed out by doing reviews. Not everyone who breaks a law is a crook, even if what they're doing is against the criminal code, like not wearing a seat belt.

Didn't mean to offend anyone. I've given reasons for the way I do things, so far all I've gotten is attacks for not relying solely on handles and reviews. People break bad sometimes. Not all the time, just sometimes.

Mine is Hugh Jazz

My full legal name is Ivana Humpalot. Would you like to see my ID?

See your "ID"? Is that what the cool kids are calling it nowadays?

I am Jack Mehoff. It's eastern European.

I agree with this part:

Grammatical, biblical, scientifical: there are a number of laws I will violate.

But we digress. What was the original thread topic? Making sure providers have the right diction in them?

Other then that I can tell by your Nom de joy that you are not married to me.
I have never been married to a Ivana Humpalot. I would tell you if I had.

sigh.. now WHY have we never met before? Are you avoiding Johnny Hardones? Do you have something against Mr. Hardone? Would you like to have something against Mr. Hardone?

The nice thing about being a native speaker of a fairly standard version of the dominate language is not having to know diddly squat about it's grammar. If you have to be taught it -- it's not really part of the grammar after all -- it's just something a bored grammarian invented a few centuries ago to make our language more like Latin. Stuff like not ending sentences with prepositions, and not splitting infinitives and other silly things.

It's when a modifier (in this case, a participle), by its ambiguous placement, may appear to modify more than one noun. Given the audience of this board, consider this example:

Kissing her body all over, her clitoris came into view.

Now, the way that sentence is constructed, it could be her roaming clitoris that was kissing her body all over, or the implied "I".

Perhaps a thread, to be located in the Sandbox, regarding the proper conjugation of the verb "to be" and other matters of higher learning is in order.

This thread appears to have run it's course!

spacemtn---sorry about prolonging the course---from now on more mammaries and less grammaries
