Actually, he did make himself clear.

Mnv said that he called and was told that Amy left and will not be returning. This appears to be in direct contradiction to what MT said about her being back for some time. There are plenty of people on this board who make statements not based on fact. Mnv's assessment of that fact was accurate and not in need of remedy.
Frankly, $.4 is too much for FS. MT should recognize this fact and make sure his staff understands that to continue to raise prices and reduce services will cost the house and the therapist in the long run. We are in a deep recession. To raise tip prices by 40% overnight during a recession is ridiculous. Further, to say that $.4 is the going rate or is lower than average is, in fact, a lie. There will be a day when $.4 will be the going rate. But even if we were in double digit inflation, it wouldn't be any time soon.
I'd suggest that all parties to this discussion go to your respective corners and cool off. No one will benefit from furthering this argument and reflection on the state of the hobby may be the key to reconciliation.

No he didn't make it clear.

Actual he did not make it clear who he was saying was making posts that were not factual. That is what I was requesting clarification on, not AMY's current status.
If he does not care to clarify it then he should not be making any such accusations, I am simply asking for him (he who posts based on FACT) to FACTLY state who he was refering to posting absent facts.
I am not trying to start any arguements here, I want to know who he was refering to, simple as that. Why? Because it seemed as though it was directed at me. So if you can answer for him then do so, if not, I will wait for him to respond.
IF someone wants to say someone else is posting something that is false, he should be man enough to say it, identify the party he is talking to/about and what he believes is inaccurate.
Thanks.
So you took it personal...

BB,
Unless you are in the habit of posting lies, then you should not have thought he directed it at you. I read the post and didn't think he was talking about me.
I have read your posts and I believe you are on the up and up. For instance, I recall a recent discussion that you and I had concerning a poster by the name of ED. You even changed your stance after reading more of the history behind the issue. Apparently ED was adept at posting lies. Could have been folks like him that Mnv was alluding to and didn't want to stir a hornet's nest. While he can speak for himself further on this matter, his original post is still pretty clear to me, and I would suggest that he wasn't pointing a finger at you.

Wow.....I just got back to the board
Ok, I don't engage in back and forth on the boards. I try to stick to reporting the facts of my experiences.
This board is one of the few places I can be totally honest especially as a hobbyist. It's interesting to see a provider on here engaging us. I do feel that MT may be missing the opportunity to gain some goodwill with the team. Not to mention use the board as a way to become our preferred provider. Wouldn't that be neat..... "Magical Touch, official provider of USG". LOL
Anyway, this is the first and I hope last flame thread I've been a part of. I almost said "created", but MT created this all by him/her self.
My fellow hobbyist, keep up the good work. We share because we care. That's what's it's all about.

We share because we care.
...is exactly right. I still wonder how MT stays open when all the others have been raided and caused untold grief to the guys trapped inside at the time.
Still too dangerous for me anyway but everyone can pick their own peril.

Some scoop and a passing thought
The passing thought first:
If MT and other places truly want to know early and often whether the clientel is happy with their services, then the mammasan needs to be the last person to see a client before he leaves. This was the practice at Green in DC and is the practice in a couple of places across NoVA. There are few places (I can think of only one at the present) where the lack of mammasan was not an issue. Rather than MT's proprieter telling us to ask for the management if we are not happy, a more proactive approach would offer opportunistic praise as well as constructive criticism. Having to ask for the mammasan after receiving poor service is the last thing on my mind and unless I feel especially empathetic to the establishment, I probably won't bother to ask for the management. In short, proactive approach would give good feedback on both sides of the coin.
Scoop:
The bust that is rumored to be coming to the NoVA AMPs is apparently imminent. Those AMPs who have no massage licenses or are using unlicensed therapists or whose therapists are lacking a good green card are at risk. Not telling you to avoid your favorite providers, but be aware of the reasons for a crack down and be a smart shopper. I have an acquaintance in the area that has his ear to the ground. Be safe out there.

The TS IS Part of a "Legit" Massage!
Actually, at times it is the BEST part! If the place does not have a TS I leave and go on over to the FCCC for the rest.

[QUOTE=Eerock]It is my impression spas are moving away from TS, probably because it is then easier to pass themselves off as legit massage places. Do you know of places that opened up without a TS, and then put one in later?[/QUOTE]
Newbie with first report..
I'm a newbie who has been on these boards for a couple years but never posted.
Fairly younger guy but have been in the AMP scene for a few years from HWC in woodbrige, to a spa in DC above thee Eyebar, spa that was near the mci center and also one off of Backlick.
But this review is for SoftTouch.
Located in small business park, looked empty from outside so I parked around the corner rung the doorbell and was greeted by mamasan who took me into the room took the house fee of 60. And then escorted me into the TS. Mamasan was older lady but gave a pretty good And thorough TS.
She then escorted me back to the room andi was greeted by ANOTHER older asian lady by the name of Lucky. She proceeded to give decent massage on upper shoulders and fingers and then moved down to lower back and then moved the towel. Working on my upper legs and then a slight RJ whicch suprised me. Flipped with standard nova finish. For details PM me.
