So like...can I make this my own personal references thread?

[hairyhoudini]

The problem with old references is that they are basically no reference if the provider calls and they say Who? or I have no idea who that is. Especially if you only saw them once. That is why I like P411. The okays are there. Even the older ones have some validity because they actually keyed it in themselves.

But what it sounds like is "you have your own security strategy", which is fine, but you wish to circumvent hers.

You don't want to post reviews, which is your right, but you want the ladies to vouch for you.

At first glance it seems quite goose/gander sort of thing, with you wanting to move the disproportionate share of the risk onto the lady in question.

No. Dead wrong. You don't get the purpose of this thread.

I was trying to find a "third way". As far as I know, nobody else has ever started their own personal verification thread. It seems to have largely worked.

longer, I feel your pain. reengaging is tricky. I second the burner and p411. I also second your security-consciousness.
