Recently I have received Appointment Requests with Provider References that included the Provider's Legal Name in parentheses.

This has happened three times in the last month, and once again today....so, I felt compelled to make this post.

Personally, I do not wish to know any other Provider's civvie name and find it unnecessary and ultimately without discretion.

If you are lucky enough to have the knowledge of the legal name of a provider, keep it to yourself....chances are the lady was trusting you with that information.

Trust and discretion on both sides of the fence are two vital components in our world.

Happy Hobbying and Happy Providing!  

But it doesn't surprise me that it happens.  Some guys just don't "get it"!

Fan-damn-tastic post miss Samantha.

I'll go you one further; EVERYONE receives the same discretionary respect whether their deserving or not.

I totally agree. Definitely, a no no to disclose or out a provider with her real name. She trusted you as gentleman with this secret knowledge. So letting that information out into the internet through e-mails or other means of communication where it can fall into the wrong hands is careless and selfish. Using some discretion is a must.

If you are cool enough to know the ladies legal name please do not share with the rest of the world this is very bad manners.
