if anyone here has had the honor of a date with essa, please drop me a line at [email protected]. she sounds like just my type, but I can't get a response to multiple requests (all polite and approprate). A little guidance or a referral would be appreciated. Thanks.

My guess is that you wrote something that she found either inappropriate or not to her liking.  She replied to my first inquiry in a relatively timely manner.  However, I replied probably a little too honestly to one of her screening questions and never heard back from her. Oh well...

latest word i have is she has retired.  a fortunate few will continue to recieve the honor.
