Being involved in this hobby, I realize that from time-to-time there is a need for new or historical information.  Rather than creating a bunch of posts (and reviews), I have taken the tact of helping my brothers via back-channel.  If any hobbiest out there needs ANY info, drop me a private message.  I will give you objective info that is also backed up with any other info I can find.  Talk to me.

Nothing I like more than a man willing to help out a brother in need. The too cheap to pay for a VIP membership brother (of course these brothers can't backchannel you). The too lazy to do their homework brother. The psychotic stalker brother (my personal favorite). The brother with no reviews and no participation on any DB to be found and lets not forget our LE brother. These needy brothers have a friend in you indeed. I for one am so thankful you're around and have taken the point on helping all these brothers in need and steering them in the right direction in what they seek. I'm sure there are many of the local ladies that will join me in thanking you for your service. They will take great comfort knowing you're on the job passing out their information indiscriminately to any and all comers.
Think about what you're offering. You don't know these people but you're willing to pass out information to "any hobbiest" who needs "any info". Who do you think you're helping by doing this?
Bloody do gooder.

Hang on just a second NM.  I am using backchannel.  Think for a moment.  Isn't it a little MORE discreet than just posting a review or a discussion thread?  Cmon - THINK.  Even to your point, the non VIPs can't backchannel.  All the other categories you mention - "the too lazy, the stalker, LE", etc, etc can see EVERYTHING this site (and other sites) has to offer.  What makes you think for one minute that all these people don't read the discussion threads and reviews?  As for the comment about "many of the local ladies ...", I think you give them very little credit.  Let me ask again, what is more discreet - backchannel or a www-wide review or discussion thread?

You concisely summarized EXACTLY what I was thinking!  Well said!

In case you didn't read my post thoroughly enough, I did address the non-VIP brother and I am aware that all the other siblings I mentioned can access all that this site has to offer. So what exactly are you offering, redundant information? That's a waste of everyone’s time isn't it? Maybe you're just trying to streamline the process. You know, one stop shopping so brother stalker and brother LE don't have to do so much legwork in accomplishing their task. Make it easy for them, now I get it!
You know whom I give very little credit to? You, for opening your mouth when you should be keeping it shut. For not thinking through what you're offering the general public. For not considering the repercussions of what could happen if an unpublicized piece of information got into the wrong hands. For not taking into account the wishes of those whose information you're passing out. What's more discreet? You neglected to mention silence as one of your choices. Try it sometime.
If you have so much spare time and want to help a brother, try posting a link to reviews when a newbie, out of towner or plain old moron just can't seem to find it. Better yet, teach the newb/oot/moron how to find it on his own. You know, it's the old adage about giving a man a fish versus teaching him to fish. You do your own homework don't you?

It's too bad all good deeds don't get rewarded on this board.  It is just the nature of the beast.

Inspite of all that rubbish, which you don't need to pay any attention to, Do what you feel like doing as you have the same benefits of using this website as any other member and have not come up with anything unusual. Try not to allow the old venerable know it alls types to affect your thoughts. They are the only ones vaunting themselves, not others.

Anybody w/any common sense would not "back channel" to someone w/no posting or review history. Done right, it is definitely a more discreet method for sharing information. NM, IMHO you did come on pretty strong.

I want to respond to your post, IDM, in a positive manner for a change.  Most of the time when someone asks a general question such as yours, the dear, kind, helpful TER members in SD tell the poster to F**k OFF!!  Sure, there are lazy, too cheap to pay for a VIP membership hobbyists who post here  expecting others to do their work for them ... hobbyists who deserve the FO response. But there are also hobbyists who have tried to do their research and just need a little support when visiting a new city.  

I know I'm a hottie, but I also know I appeal to certain types of gentlemen but not to others.  I don't see guys under 40 years old because I can easily fill all of my available appointments with more mature gentlemen and that is my personal preference.  I don't know how old you are, IDM,  or what your particular tastes are, but I would invited you to check out my website at www.europeandelight.com.  If I'm not your type, no problem, but please feel free to PM me here or to email me at [email protected] with a little more info about your preferences with the ladies, and I will do my best to help you.

He said it about me a couple of weeks ago and that was fine with me, (I stand behind all of my former posts~I've grown plenty since I came here) now I suggest you do some research on VF and do some thinking about "him"...

http://theeroticreview.com/msgBoard/ViewMsgBody.asp?BoardID=7&Messageid=3250

Really all any of you need to do is use the BOARDS and the REVIEWS and you'll find all the information you need to know about any girls and any posters like VF and myself.

Anything else is rumor and gossip.

Backchannel only works if you KNOW somebody.  And WHO on the internet do you KNOW?

Maybe VF just has some new girls he'd like to introduce to you and "while possibly making a little money at it."  All well and good when he's up front and the girls are fine with it, I suppose.  I think that's called an AGENCY.  

LE would call it something entirely different.

Just making some suppositions based on the past.

Careful out there.

All I can say is "WOW".  This whole back-channel thing... it seems to be its own little sub-culture.  For all my fellow brothers who back-channeled with their support or just kind words - "Thank You" very much.   Also, there were quite a few questions about some of the more vocal providers on this board.  I'm sure I provided those with the questions NOT JUST MY opinion, but ample proof of ...

Just so you all know - I am right there ready to share info with you.  To NM's point, I would think of sharing with some of the less-informed/involved.  I am simply answering your questions, NOT promoting any provider(s) as some MAY have you believe.

According to VF's first post: "I am an ex-hobbiest and the creator of VE."  (see post)

Well, if he is an EX hobbiest, how relevant can his information be anyway?  And how does he come by it?  Historical data is found in abundance on this site.  Current information gathered from real experiences is what we really need here.

My personal all time favs of VF:

"It's refreshing to see that you have a different set of screening criteria that fits the self-employed and entreprenuers(sp).  Also - Buscador - in my experience (and from what I have read on these boards and been told via back-channel) - the escorts with the strictest screening policies are usually the biggest disappointments.  IMHO I would rather be with someone who isn't so uptight like SE Escort.  I'm sure she is more fun. "

My response:
"Actually.... I have found that the gents that balk and are the most difficult to screen, are the very ones that are rude, show up late, and don't shower long enough. But then again, my memory is sketchy since I haven't had one of those in ages. For the record, Mr. Visitor's friend,  if someone ever says that it is more important for me to be a fun escort than a safe escort, then you better get ready to enjoy the slime of rotten tomatoes, and whatever else some of us providers have handy who just read your diatribe, or get better at not being a royal pain in the arse of the local ladies in wonderful San Diego. Your intuition should dictate now that at this post nobody likes you but you. Hate to break it to ya, but everyone knows all about your game."
