Wow, very skillful of you to "catch" it
[QUOTE=DcGuy81; 1577214]Caught this post on BP. Called- appears it's. .8 / hhr. 1.0 / hr. Located by convention center.
Anyone been?

Now RTFF, do some homework, do some legwork, and make some contributions.
The purpose of forums isn't to GET info
[QUOTE=DcGuy81; 1578233]Prior to posting. Read the forum, check. Did a reverse phone search, check. Called and inquired about rates and location, which information I shared. Even tin-eyed the stock photo. Also (gasp) checked another forum that I actually participate in because the people over there aren't assholes. I guess I'm just old fashioned and figure that the whole purpose of forums is to get info, and not engage in this tit for tat bs or flaming.
BTW on lynn- attempted two appointments, flaked both times. 0 for 2 is the limit for me. Other forums indicate she's a pleasant lady and gives a decent massage, though I'm not talking from first-hand experience. Though I can say she's not a scam, just a flake.
There we go. Contributions made. Maybe if I start trolling and flaming people too, I can get my number of posts up over 1, 000 like bunker buster and earn some "legitimacy."[/QUOTE]It's to SHARE info. When you've posted a fraction of the hundreds of reviews of girls I've spent my own money seeing, reports of flakes or unpleasant girls I've wasted my own time and money on, hundreds more warnings of fake ads ad fake pix, tips on how to maximize good experiences and minimize bad ones, and hundreds more back-channel tips and suggestions, and referrals, your opinion about me might have a modicum of credibility.
Until then, you're the bum standing outside 7-11 asking for handouts, grousing at the hard-working people who don't appreciate your freeloading.
Not a sermon, just a thought: noobs & intel
[QUOTE=DcGuy81; 1578931]And one was info on a provider. So by my count, I'm on a 1:1 ratio for asking for information amd providing information. Of course, there was the response to bunker for his regularly scheduled hissy fit against newbies. But thanks for the illuminating experience. I still don't know what the magic ratio has to be to avoid getting flamed, but I don't care so much. Doesn't speak well to the board that newbies are flamed and belittled before they even have a chance to make further contributions.
I did find some answers to the question in my original post, so cheers and peace out.[/QUOTE]Just out of curiosity, why is it that you feel noobs are flamed? I've yet to be flamed or chastised and same goes for some friends in a nearby location. None of us are senior members. We've put in the leg work, time and money in order to do our own research. If you want information you need to understand that anyone is going to be hesitant to share with a new member with few real posts / reviews. There is LE lurking everywhere. Despite what we all would like to believe, they're highly trained and well equipped to catch us as we partake in our favorite hobbies. It's as everyone has pretty much emphasized you need to share a good deal of information / have real intel that proves you're not some greedy lurker in order to get intel.
Well wish you best regardless and to everyone who is here for the right reasons: 1) Sharing intel with those who have shared interests 2) Finding those ATFs 3) Getting your money's worth.
Stay safe and GLHF!
