how many reviews does it take to establish a provider as reputable? and, does being reviewed on TER mean she is who she said she is, and not LE. 2 reviews(both 9's)w/1 blurred face picture, not alot of info.  trusted TER on my first gef and was greatest experience of my life. just need to make the correct decision with the correct head.

by reviewers who have reviewed at least three. and all within a one year period from today's date.

Just my personal preference.  It has served me well.

what if 1 of the providers reviews in guestion is a long time TER reviewer, which has posted several reviews dating back trough 2004

some board activity or a green light given from another provider who knows her.  Generally, recommendations from a regular provider you see can be very good as they are familiar with your needs, wishes, fantasies... and any provider who is reputable will tell you upfront about a peer when you do inquire.

Quite a few veteran hobbyists enjoy the challenge of finding new talent.

You can also PM the reviewer asking for more information, or post on the regional board asking if anyone else knows and recommends her.

to me is, who the reviewers are.  I want to know that they have been around a little bit and have the same tastes as me.  I have always asked the opinions of the reviewers also.  Many times some details are forgotten or left out.  He may also be able to tell you more about how the girls look if they don't show their face.  Even after all that, you need to remember we are all different and the girls are not robots, so, you never really know until you go yourself.

thanks TER,
 have corresponded with a previous hobbist about provider in question.  very helpful in easeing fear of my session with her.
thanks again
