Yeah probably not, I was a charter member on RB, which you probably don’t even know what that is.. If you do then you would know I go way back. I had to change my handle here a few times when they were deleting everyone for a single statement… I remember when lick some candy 2020 was good and they changed and didn’t even want to take previous clients.. So to each their own, let’s face it these PO’s get burnt out or even uptight. I can understand that to a degree, it thats what you do all day long but they get a new PO. Its like dealing with a bad customer agent, I don’t tolerate,. Customer service goes a long way. Just like a women, if she gives a great experience, great attitude and goes out her way it’s a great experience. If she is grumpy, not good service or blah. You don’t go back right?? Same as dealing with an ORG that is horrible..
My apologies Dragonfire, not for being wrong, but if you felt I was dissing your years of experience, or anything else. I congratulate you for doing the same "less than" experience to me, saying I probably don't know RB. A perfect comeback.
I'm always trying to hypothise why something isn't working. I made good $ making things work, but first had to understand why they weren't working in detail. My explanatory hypotheses are often wrong, and sometimes offend, but will often illicit more true info than asking. People will feel compelled to truthfully correct a falsehood they know about, but otherwise won't answer.
RB was SF Red Book. I was on RB, for couple of years maybe, I have no records, but probably not as early as you. RB owner got busted for money laundering, tax evasion. The feds confiscated like $1.1 million.
Before rampage got banned. I changed my handle here like 8 or 9 times. On bonerhope symbol, it shows previous log ins - pecker_wood, thomasbird, Pay4, Pete2, Ppipe, Homas. I ran out of room. That's actually why I think ampreviews is compelling, but not understood. It's big advantage is mostly due to real time comments, only moderated after posting.
LSC shutdown their San Mateo operation early 2020, because supposedly some monger outed the org to apt dwellers, management. At this point is when they stopped using references, and I suspect if you hadn't seen them in the last 6 months or less, they required re-qualifying with new standard. I never had to supply them with DL, work ID or references since I was on the monger list from GSC (Get Some Candy). I think it helped that I was old, probably older than you.
Back to SKS.
I had assumed you aren't getting responses from SKS, despite being on long time monger lists? But maybe I'm wrong again. I did see on SKS site "Accepting Limited New Clients".
I do agree the SKS PO should be nicer and more considerate of guys, I'm not sure she's aware of how much enmity she's creating. I don't like to trash people, even trollers and guys who attack me, mostly because I recognize I make mistakes all the time, but try to learn from them in the way I mentioned. I view SKS's PO bad behavior as something to puzzle out. I would like to find out if any my rationalizations for her behavior are true, or more likely false and why.
