why involve an unncessary middleman?

IF you found the same person advertising under different names, one as an indy and one with an agency, which would you use to contact, or would you not contact.

I have done that before, but under slightly different circumstances. This agency that I used to frequent had a girl they used to fly down from S. Florida.  So whenever I went to S. Florida on business trip, I used to go see her.

especially on eros, cityvibe etc.
