I'm here for info and to contribute my experience and opinion from time to time. Take it or leave it. <-- that's what I do.

The only thing I want on this board is a fast link back to the upstate section after I read my messages. I hate having to go the main page and drill down again.

I know, I'm such a whiner.

I think hurtful comments do hurt people. As kids we were told this isn't true through that ridiculous saying. It's a terrible thing to tell children. Anyway, some are resistant to the hurtful comments, and others scar so it really boils down to do we care how we treat other people. Some days we just may not care, may not even realize what we say is hurtful or can't even think about it because we are too preoccupied with ourselves.

I all most deleted this because I didn't want to be taken the wrong way. However since the problems with the last year at and the demise of ASPD and the issues here over the last 4 or 5 months people getting banned and all, I thought I wanted to say something. I did not reference any or was I thinking of any specific resent events that have occurred. When i wrote this I was just thinking of the attitude each of us should have towards one another. Even though I did go to 12 years of Catholic school this is the closest to a Bill Graham type speech i have ever made and the closest i hope I ever get.

If we all want this board to survive , in a manner in which it is useful to providers and to hobbyist , we all need to think about what we are posting before it is posted. Reviewers need to review for information purposes, not for entertainment level, before posting negatives about an appointment or about any interaction with a provider sit back and consider how serious or not this item was . Was it something that jeopardized your safety or security, or was it just an annoyance , and consider is it worth mentioning it and if it is ,how much emphasis should be put on it. Remember guy this is our hobby but it is a lively hood for many of these ladies I know if someone was messing with my sale numbers I be a little pissed, especially in these economic times . I not saying don't mention the negatives because that is one of the most important functions of this board, but when is something really a negative. Most of these little problem can be solved by discussing them with the provide or hobbyist, well the reliable ones, which most of the regular professional ladies here are.
Ladies please try too remember most of the hobbyist here are good guy and have been around for a long time, some of the new one need to learn the ropes and will get it. However have a little patience it a tough economy for us too and are play funds are down( for a lot of us) and they are just trying to make the best of it.
I think if everyone works together hobbyist and hobbyist providers with providers and hobbyist with provider this board will continue to benefit us all , but if we don't it will never last. Then were will we all go , it easy to say you dont need it but when hobbyist stop hobbling and providers retire where you going to find reliable partners.
That is more than I said on here in the last year and I hope everyone takes it positively like it was meant.

There is a direct link on every page of each thread. Right above the reply button you will see a link in the header that says upstate new york, click on that it takes you to right to the upstate ny page. But the way I do it when I read my messages, I go to the arrows to go back upper left corner of the page click to get the down box of your past pages and then click on the page you want. Thats alot quicker than doing it the other way.
