Screening: Mosquitoes are not stopped
[QUOTE=Hobby Horse;1626519]Without restarting the whole debate again, I agree with Gansett. Considering the risks for both are equal, to me it seems downright stupid for a monger to give a provider any personal information for screening purposes. I know some argue that it's done for provider safety but to me that's too much of a risk for mongers privacy. The provider and monger both take safety risks in this venture; can anyone guarantee the monger won't hurt the provider even after screening? Or that the provider is not going to sell, lose, or exploit the mongers info? No one can. So like Gansett said, if you're OK with screening then go ahead but there are plenty of other options out there. As for me, no thanks.[/QUOTE]Everyone has to figure out what risks they're willing to take in the pursuit of greenbacks and de pootie-tang. Most ladies are not crazy or corrupt and most guys are not psycho. But we remain strangers to each other even if we hold certain info about each other, right? So why would I give a stranger info about my personal life, especially the fact that I pay for the pootie-tang? Maybe when we meet I'll physically remind her of her ex-boyfriend, who abused her, and she use a reverse-lookup site to find out my address, workplace, etc. Or maybe she'll swear to delete my phone number once I've been verified, but of course she won't. Think about it: how does she kniw not to verify you the next time you call her? . It's because your number is on her phone and / or computer contact list. Not so bade, unless she annotates your personal preferences and one day the list goes public."Mr. Jones likmes to sniff smelly feet while pretending he's a sheep and going baaa-baaa!" Yikes. So you can move on or take the small risk. Is there anything more to say?
