Pyramider, that taint true.
Torre is right, this thread has good pro and con info. It also has some incorrect info.
P411 is very useful to a newbie, infrequent hobbyist, and hobby regulars who like variety. Cautious providers seem to trust p411 more than most other ways to verify that a hobbyist is OK to see.
P411 says they delete/trash all your personal data after they verify you. They dont get much useful personal info and I hope they delete/erase what they say they say delete/erase.
P411 aint perfect, but not much in the hobby is. P411 is pretty darn good though.
On the other hand, if a hobbyist has enough reviews on eccie, a decent reputation (i.e., is not black listed someplace or known to be a reckless ass) and he originally contacts a provider he wants to see via eccie PM, then many providers are good to go..... Or at most want a referral from a couple reputable eccie providers who know him..... So p411 is not always completely necessary. Hey, if your p411 account expires, its pretty easy to reinstate it even after many months have passed.
Then again, way more than half the providers (including those in amps, agencies, backpage, eccie, ter, etc) in DFW are not on P411.... So there is that too.
