Being a newbie to the hobby, although I admittedly spent considerable time on TER prior to my initiation into the euphoric exxxperience.  It's no secret that agencies in general have a less than stellar reputation; however, there are exceptions and I will testify on oath to the one in particular that I used out in the Valley of the Sun.  Now although they've given me a "white list" referral, my question is whether it would be more beneficial to have the actual ladies provide the referral?  

Here's my tip of the day: if you're ever visiting that fine City, the ladies out there are awesome!

An un-scientific guess would say that over 75 percent of providers don't know how to "white list" a hobbyist or even care to learn.

You have received the thumbs-up, everything A-OK from one the most reputable agencies on TER.  Any gal on the site you linked, wanting to check you out will recognize who is vouching for you.
