My standard response is: "I try to put everything that should be shared in the review.  That's what it's for."  Even for guys who I know are legitimate, I think we owe the ladies respect their privacy.  In life in general, it's served me well to avoid saying things about someone that I'd be uncomfortable saying about them if they were present.  Just a good filter!  I think the same holds true here ...... both in writing reviews and in conversations.

If the info is pretty benign, then I'll share some info even if I don't know who the guy is.

 
If it verges into her personal info such as her living situation, or some such private info, I won't share it regardless of who the person is.

 
An example of what I would share is if someone asks if her BJ skills are really fantastic, or if her massages are truly awesome.   That kind of thing.

 
For the most part, I only get these kinds of requests two or three times a year, in any case.

Are you "comfortable" answering questions such as, "does she do Greek?"
I am, I'm comfortable sharing info related to professional services.  Info such as her address, her surroundings, personal identification, etc..I would not share.  Haven't been asked to as of yet

people are asking, but i think that asking if a service is provided is not inappropriate, or if the lady offers it ymmv. i've read many reviews in which services change. and i don't think that a provider should put a user on a DNS list, if he inquires about this information from another hobbyist, nor do i think that hobbyists should rat out another hobbyist for asking simple questions that can affect how enjoyable time spent will be.  

i mean what the hell else are you supposed to ask another hobbyist about? how their day went?

obviously personal questions may be inappropriate, but services should be fair game

Guys do not send me PMs, as I do not have anything to share.

I don't think I'd want a hobbyists opinion of a lady. Hobbyist aren't usually to bright, and think ugly women are attractive. Or hanging out with drug addicts is fun.

the nature of the request.  Most of he PM's I get concern whether a veteran girl has any changes from what her profile says from years ago, such as shaved or natural, gained weight, menu changes from what is listed, etc.  I consider these to be innocent requests, even from someone out of the blue.  Unless I have been corresponding regularly with someone, I don't answer questions about a provider's incall location, nor do I talk about YMMV services with strangers.  Many providers have have an expanded menu that may include Greek, CIM or other services for their regulars, but if they're not on her menu for every swinging dick that walks through the door, I will not discuss them with  guys I don't know well.  

 
The one request I get a lot of that I will absolutely ignore is a request to vouch for someone I don't know with a booker or an indie provider.  I also don't respond to any PM's from alias' (with a few exceptions).  I want to know who I'm giving info to.   There are many hobbyists that only use their alias on the boards, but when I talk to them by PM, they use their real handle. I usually don't respond to providers asking about other providers either.  

the more information I might be willing to share.  Of course nothing as to identity or location.

Such as "she's good looking" or "her blow jobs are fantastic, but I avoid personal info or juicy details that would be covered in a review.

Or every now and then, I get someone asking about a description of a lady's clitoris , vagina or nipples. Or if she doesn't show face pics, they ask if she is pretty.  
I do share my experiences or give suggestions based on who I've seen, but I would never give information that could put a lady's safety at risk.
I do look at the enquirer's board presence and review history and decide what I answer based on that research.

Some of the questions are ridiculous. However, every once in awhile, if the monger has board cred I'll respond.

...or if a fellow hobbyist that I don't know has a substantial amount of recent & well written reviews.  Other than that i don't share Intel, nor agree to a dual session, a voyeur session,  or a FMF romp. But i guess i can't blame a guy for trying, right?

Fuck no! Can't stand them.

I remember an asshat asking me "how much she charged for anal?" After I wrote a review that didn't mention "anal". WTF really?

 And he misspelled "Anal"

I've had great luck getting the inside scoop via backchannels. Simply, there's only so much that goes into a review and it can only be so honest.  

I've both seen, and refused to see, providers because of details that were only revealed by a friendly PM. All that to say, the reviewer is a greater resource than the review.

 
I don't think that something like an address, or even a phone number (if it's not advertised) should be given out via backchannel, so there's some discretion required there to keep everyone safe.
