[QUOTE=PaulGlenlivet;2888080]Thanks for your report and welcome to the club. Some of what you said in your report resonates with me and you can read about it in my review just published elsewhere.
Here's what I wrote in the general section. It seems to me that the previous reviews are somewhat of the gushing variety and therefore she's gotten too hyped. I saw her at her place in East Providence after only the first review had been published. I hear now that she's switched over to hosting in a hotel room in Warwick. Probably because of all the traffic. So, bottom line, there are a number of gaps other reviewers have not called out (see details below). I'm not saying don't see her. But lower your expectations a little and don't fall for her upsells. And perhaps wait for the hype to die down.
As for people not sharing info, there's a good reason. Now that you're a senior (congrats!) I'd recommend you demonstrate the same caution. How do you know that a newbie asking for info isn't Leo? You wouldn't want to be assisting them would you? Once you're a senior it's assumed that you've posted several reviews and done your share of contributing back to the monger society. So I openly share with seniors unless I have a specific concern with a specific member. When a non-senior asks me for info, I might ask them to share some info first, not in the spirit of a trade, but to ensure that the person is a genuine and passionate monger. There are seniors and non-seniors that I gave info to in this manner and they have seen Christina and posted their reviews here.[/QUOTE]I understand and get what you mean now by not sharing the info at first. To be honest I thought you were just looking for a trade. Didn't Think I had to trade info on a public posting LOL. Just missed communication is all.
