A RUSH OF OUTSIDE INPUT

don't wont to keep anybody from posting on here however its kinded hard when we have alot of people from outside the state putting research info on here & we don't know them. its like if john galt puts a review out I trust because hell he's been around awhile & types stuff that people don't like le wants people to like them. Me I have low reviews this year but i have been around since aspd days. So what say you.

Being as this board is open to anyone, you will always have to choose which posts to value. Now that you have explained part of your value system, it will be that much harder. Do you really think le doesn't know how to act like an asshole?
I don't think it matters where they're at. We don't question out of state providers about their whereabouts when they drop in to comment on threads. Just my 2 cents. I think everyone should be welcome. I comment on the TX forums sometimes...
As to whose input you trust, you just have to do research on them like everyone else.
Might be more out of territory posters that maybe are discredited in their own regions and move to where they are not known as well and then get a voice?

Kinda like whack a mole with Galt. Then you move.

This board is not my only souce to make sure a provider is legit. There are other boards you should keep an eye on.
That's definitely true Big Mike.
Also GOOGLE is my best friend.

Everyone should utilize every avenue they can to make sure we all stay safe.
not to mention that providers move around all of the time, and if a provider has burned quite a few of hobbyists in Dallas(hypothetically) and then moves to KC, the info would be much appreciated. Nobody complains about searching other areas' databases for info, so what's the difference between a live hobbyist providing info, or a review posted in another area.

p.s. Tinyeye does not have every picture on the web in its database. many of the pics on BP are not on tinyeye. An out-of-towner, who can definately tell you that what you're seeing is not what you're gonna get(bait and switch), is much appreciated. Not to mention, the savings in gas, $, TOFTT, etc.

And if you don' think the info is reliable, then check it out.
RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH

Personaly I like the openness of this site. Not only do I post here, but on the national boards as well. Not sure what you are you are getting at Cheaper. Though someone who joined this site 8 mo's before the death of ASPD and has over 1200 posts with 8 reviews hardly lacks credibility IMO.......and yes you should use more than one site.

what I am say is this I have no problem with people from outside states giving info However in the last month or so the trend is very high & as always when new trends pop up then you check them out. So what i need is what you think of this new trend it is our job here to see hear read & research what is around like I said not tring to keep people from posting just had a thought & so i put it out so you ladies & guys can think about it.

i know of him, but then again i have been around a little while longer, and traveled a bit more than most.
pmdelites has been traveling to kc from dallas since before this site started.
and if you want to talk old aspd days, go check his profile on eraps, you will see he joined aspd in 2000.
a little bit before anyone here, except maybe bubba, and bubba is a texas transplant too.
although i haven't agreed with all pm has said over the years, he has travel more road, knows the kc hobby better, and has had more kc trim, than many people that live here.
