Some things are fairly clear
[QUOTE=GSouthernPeach;2418349]How do you know that people don't have more than one account that they use like the infamous Bob Jones who was before my time isn't now a senior member under another name? Or that 4 accounts aren't by the same member that they use to post and build up or put down someone. Or that some of the girls don't have male accounts to. I think no matter who you see as long as both parties are comfortable with everything and both have fun that's what it is all about! Rumors are nasty things and most of the time they aren't the facts. Also jealousy won't ever get you anywhere. A providers mileage may very just like a hobbyists. On another note I am alive and well!

Tips for the night.
1) It's easier to acknowledged your horses faults once you have acknowledged your own.
2) Pretty words are not always true and true words are not always pretty.
3) You can't weigh the facts if you got the scales weighed down with your own opinions.
4) In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is King.[/QUOTE]The admins check for more than one account using the same IP address, which catches many users with multiple accounts. Of course if a user was scrupulous about using a second Internet provider for a second account it wouldn't be caught.
In Bob's specific case, his writing style was quite distinctive, and if he's posting he's toned it down. Of course anybody can lurk without posting, so he's very likely enjoying a good read.
While gossip can be counterproductive, we recognize that knowledge is power, and in the hobby context knowledge is safety.
There are a few important questions that sites like this can answer about a provider, and they are valid when asked sbout clients as well. To me the three basics are (1) is she real, (2) is she safe, and (3) is she any fun?
Most everything else here is some expansion on those themes.
And welcome back, BTW!
