.....So, how many providers do screening of well known hobbyist? A person could say he was X-Hobbyist and wanted to see X-Provider. Do you take him for his word or do you do the screening? I have known some provider's that just take your word that your X-Hobbyist from ECCIE....

Always....
well known hobbyists have
multiple means of verification.... email , Eccie Handle , P411
(or others) , other board connections , multiple refeferences from
known providers , etc...
Providers who do not take advantage of the
multiple means of verifying
well known hobbyists , are
not screening!
