The subject of professional behavior has appeared  a few times but it might be time to share some with Newbies. (*I do consider myself a professional*)

**First and most important: I love the time I spend with my clients. Please be sure to understand my statement. I love... "the time" .. I spend with my client.

~I will not ask you to leave your wife, or threaten to expose you if you do not meet my demands.(*you will know up front what I expect and I will know your expectations*)

~I will protect my client if anyone accuses me of involvement with him. (*Yes, that includes taking civil steps, through an attorney, to avoid any incriminating statements being made public*)

~I do not share information with anyone about a client, friend, lover, or PIC unless I know that specific individual is involved in divulging the info on their behalf.

I do understand that with references, many times it creates an undue and what some might think an unnecessary email. But I always ask the hobbyist or the provider to email me with their request.

*Yes, even when a provider requests info, I ask the hobbyists if he.... or she  ..... requested I share the info.

I would really suggest that many of the newer providers adopt similar practices. (*And if it needs to be said, I never reveal anything unless it is to a "Known Provider"*) ....

*I have also long established I never... EVER communicate with a clients wife unless she was involved in an encounter with her husband present.  Regardless of how convincing she may try to make her story.

These are just my precautions but I thought I would offer them up. (*If they seem like common sense to some, believe it or not there is a reason, a few as a matter of record,  that I posted it !!*)  Play safe... know your provider .....  kisses ~T
