Since every day our ranks grow with new enlistments to the hobby and these Newbies bring with them the same questions asked by countless prior Newbies I am compiling a basic primer with links to various questions, answers and subjects commonly asked by freshmen. As more topical subjects come to my attention I will add them to the below list and occasionally “re-post” for the benefit of the newest among us.

Some simple rules for posting on the Newbie board

If you're wondering why your post didn't appear here, I moved 4 posts to other more appropriate boards. Please remember this board is for general questions about the hobby.

Thanks for understanding.

Not only for the newbies but the old heads as well. I am going thru the threads for a refresher,thanks for the information.

As I see it, you have painted ALL agency's with the same brush as usual. I have observed this newbie board for awhile and info given here should be fair and balanced since we are dealing with NEWbies. I see much too much negativety being posted about agency's, as IF they are all the same. They are not, and you know it. I wish all the "informative helpfull hobbyists" here would recognize how ignorant it sounds when trying ( I assume)  to present a fair and balanced "Primer"  to be so completely unbalanced and uninformed.  There have been innumerous posts made about great agency's but, it seems you have found and linked only to 1 negative. You also leave out completely Bordellos IF one is so very, very lucky to find one. A dying breed for sure but, still here they do exist, .
Do ALL agency's keep that kind of info at hand ? NO, NO, and NOPE.
tyvm,P.T.

I had to re-read the post on agencies and it didn't sound like they were bashing them. Maybe with your clarification on the information kept we can add it to his list.

I'll gladly (and gratefully) include them in the "Primer"

 My intent IS and always WAS to merely avail easy access to various subject matter most commonly brought up or needed by the Newbs.
I have consciously sought to bring a balanced POV to this primer since I began compiling it over 4 months ago. My control however over the content of the various posts whithin a thread is quite non-existant.  

  FR.

Several copies were also sent to various Governmental agencies in Washington DC and I will also have a copy officially recorded with my local County Recorders office along with proof of its permanent addition to the "Primer" so as to preclude any possible future legal action by the ACLU, NCOC, NAACP, NOW, NAMBLA and the B'nai Brith Society.

-- Modified on 3/5/2006 5:16:46 PM

and I am sorry that I may have sounded harsh but, I see it way too much. people poisoning other peoples minds with misinformation. I hear the agency's in L.A. and Vegas truly suck. Try looking into ATL or Miami or NYC and you WILL find many posts that discuss the great agency's to be found there.
tyvm,P.T.


P.S. LNQRbigdaddy Howdy but, that link was not complimentry and only discussed how "agency's" keep peoples info. Indi's do it too.
I personally Do Not keep any info at all what so ever.
tyvm,P.T.
