I remember this being brought up before. However I want to bring it up specific to me.
I am very quick to respond to a reference request,out of respect for fellow providers and the hobbyists that have visited me. However since I am quick and some providers are slow or dont even bother,I have many hobbyists that continuously use me when they need a reference. I dont mind being used as a reference,but if its been 6months or more since you've actually visited me & during that time ive given references for you to see several other providers I am not going to be a forever reference. Sorry if it seems rude but I am busy and seeing me 1x does not make me your forever reference
I hate to just not respond to a provider when I get that pm,so my response will be that I am not willing to give that particular hobbyist a reference..and gents fyi,each provider will interpret that the way they want and may even see it as a negative. Please keep that in mind when choosing who to use as a re reference...xoxo
