To screen the unknown is time-consuming for the diligent providers and once the provider is comfortable with a repeat client, then that effort is less taxing.

I disagree. The point of the board and hobby is to find pleasurable experiences within one's price range, which is tigerman's lament.
As for making friends, the problem is not with the making of friends, rather the problem is when one believes that the making of friends with a provider supplants the number one rule which is: The hobby is business FIRST. Those who make friends and respect the number one rule can have good friendships. Those who make friends thinking their newfound friendship moves the number one rule to a secondary position, well, therein is found their error.
