hahaha, i learned this the hard way when i asked a few detail oriented questions to a few sp's over the phone down south and they abruptly hung up on me. i was just so used to openly chatting with the canadian gals.As I have learned to ask if they are comfortable talking about services and extras, most will provide some info on the phone but are very careful due to the US laws.
and the ones that requested references spooked me. i'm very private about this side of my life, and never reveal any.. and i mean ANY personal details. i'm completely fine with simply being "john." lol.
about the other u.s. forums. most of the seasoned pooners on here know about "the review board."
