it would be really helpful to have, for instance, a general discussion forum for San Diego (and all other major cities). If there's a provider with no previous reviews but has an enticing web-site, would be great if anyone could verify whether they knew she was a rip-off. And the easiest way is to communicate via forums that are labeled according to the city/geographic region. This website is successful because it brings together a lot of great info - and having a more extensive forum would certainly enhance this website. Not to mention, easier to meet up with hobby friends.

Most of us take it easy on the new guys. It's the long term idiots that really get blasted.
