Rules? Here are 13... Where are the 22?
PC:
You have some excellent additional rules in your post, and some that are repeats. In case some have not seen the set of 13 rules (Jackson wants us to post them on a separate forum these years), here is a set refined from many years of mistakes that I made... ;-):

It is amazing that many newbies continue to make the same mistakes we made a while back. I guess it gives us some consolation.

[QUOTE=Pacific Creek]...Don’t go out mongering if you’ve been drinking.
Besure "your vehicle is ...in perfect running order
Have a legit reason or destination if you get pulled over. [this is actually in the 13--have a reason to pick her up.]
...One time in and one time out [this too is in the rules. Do NOT hang around, nor make repeated circuits].
LE is now taking steps to make their decoys be more creditable on the streets. Dirty clothes, make-up, etc. Be aware of this when scanning your surroundings and environment around you. However, one big tip off will be the decoy's physical well-being. When do SW in your area look like they are in the shape of a LE decoy? That is hard for them to fake.
Be aware of your surroundings and environment at all times. [Most important rule.]

Thanks for the digits, but
Rec'd digits from prominent fellow monger. Two of the three numbers worked which was great. One major problem, was not able to convince them I was a legitimate referral. Did not want to mention the site nor the initial of the fellow monger. Anyone has ideas on how to best act upon digits from fellow monger. Had no leave town with no real action,very few out whenon the hunt.
Getting and using digits from fellow mongers
Rule 1:
Do not ask senior mongers for digits until you have established your 'creds' on the board by making a number of posts containing real and valuable information. I am sure that even the newest newbie understands this. Do not take offense if they are not offered.
Rule 2:
The source monger who is providing the digits should get the permission of the service provider BEFORE handing them out. Obviously a provider will be cautious, if not pissed, when getting a call out of the blue. Be very non-descript over the phone: "My friend said he thought you and I would be a good match. Would you like to meet for a drink?"
Rule 3:
When she gets your call, the service provider should know both your handle and that of the source monger offering the digits. When you mention them, she then gets some confirmation that you are ligit. It takes a little longer to set up, but will be much more dependable and safe.
Rule 4:
Be sure to treat the service provider with the greatest courtesy. The source monger's rep is on the block. Get an idea from the source monger of the price range and what is offered. Do not try to cut her down. The first encounter is often higher $ than the next. If the going terms are too high for you, do not call her. Accepting going terms will be more pleasant for you and her, and will make the next encounters more congenial with you (as well as him).
Rule 5:
Those who receive digits should also be SURE that it is not a sting. Know for sure that the source monger is for real. LE can set up stings in this way. Be certain that he has a solid history of valuable, information-containing posts, not just a series of questions like "Any info on XXX?" (possibly probing for LE valuable info), or "YYY was good last night!" (YYY does not exist.) Has the poster every posted real pix (not just copies from CL, etc.)? Anyone who has detected even a sniff of LE participation on the board should let us all know.
Rule 6:
Do not mention this site unless the service provider mentions it, and then give no real confirmation. Just tell her that the source monger is a friend who offered her digits. It does no good to promote knowledge of this site to the service providers and their friends, and would only encourage LE to make more use of it.
In fact, there may have been such board stings underway in Cincinnati recently. We KNOW they did it with CL.

Differentiating Seniors from New(ba)bies :)
Thanks for the sound, sensible info. I guess the difference between a real senior and a newbie is not just the number of posts.
