New here

Still trying to get the swing of things...these review sites are impossible to break into without already knowing somebody.  

Or any sort of web presence? If so, will you reply to this post with a link so we may get to know you a little better?

You need to have some type of cyber presence so your gentleman callers will know what you are about, what you charge and what your offer BCD.  

...especially any titled for providers. Then ask more questions here on the Newbie Board.

If they are on this page, they've already seen the admin post at the top of the page (as annoying as it is). They would rather talk to the people. Isn't that what the "Newbie Board" is all about?

read and move on. Encouraging them to read that post is useful especially if it takes a while for others to respond. For years we asked for that information to be more easily found. TER put it there so I'm going to point it out. My experience tells me that many skip that kind of thing when it can be very helpful for them to read it. It isn't insulting to their intelligence to give them a way to help themselves when ever possible. You'll note I also linked where I gave a quite extensive answer.

People miss what's in front of their faces all the time. For instance, I rarely read signs on doors, try ones marked as locked, and screw up the push/pull thing constantly. Doesn't have much to do with my intelligence, I shouldn't think.

And given the starting point for the OP is "it's so hard to break into review sites...." suggesting perusing the instruction manual given no specific questions for help on were even offered seems to be a very helpful reminder.

xyz is one of the most helpful members of this board and his advice is sound. Many people glance right over that top post and pay it no mind. It is not insulting their intelligence to point out that thread. Those who have already read it, no harm no foul in pointing it out. Your post on the other hand is insulting to xyz and others and really serves no purpose on the newbie board.

Didn't mean to get your panties in a wad.

For all of the useful info  I've linked my website here.
