Keep Up The Good Work, Liljoey!
Great Reports, Liljoey.
You need to be aware that there are those of us on ISG that are here, in the background so to speak, reading your extremely informative reports, that consider them an invaluable resource of information. I can't express to you how impressed I have been with your unrelenting contribution. You are very talented in the methods that you employ to tie together mongering information from several destinations and present it from a somewhat unbiased viewpoint, so we, the other mongers, can draw our own personal conclusions. It is always impressive when you get that occasional monger that tells you essentially 'no, you're wrong', but, you never seem to come back with the kind of defense that is common with some people. Instead, you seem to always come back with a presentation of additional information to further endorse your ideas, but, still appear courteous to others in accepting their counter view. I have no doubt that I'm not the only one that appreciates the fact that you are not quick to start an argument.
I agree with the idea that the forum needs to follow a format with reports organized into a somewhat orderly fashion, and it becomes a bit disorderly when the conversations wander extensively from the topic. But, it is still nice to have a place where a person like you, or someone else with valuable 'off topic' information to share, can go beyond a particular expected forum boundary, without 'border patrol' coming after you.
In conclusion, Liljoey, please don't ever get discouraged and don't stop your invaluable factual contribution. There really are some of us out here that are eagerly awaiting what you have to say!

Using the German FKK scene as benchmark
First of all thanks to the seniors for letting us have this new lounge / chat area allowing us to discuss subjects slightly outside the topics of the standard threads. It's appreciated.
The very thing that lead to this new thread was of course the discussion between LJ, Bread and Vitrea benchmarking the FKK scene to certain p4p scenes worldwide, which I followed with huge interest. I have always enjoyed reading the benchmarking debates, but to me the true added value of this discussion was that it was between FKK veterans with a notion about "FKK standards / qualities". You just don't get that understanding when reading threads of other parts of the world. And I am not sure raising a "FKK benchmarking debate" would be very welcome in other world threads, too TBH. ;)
For example: When reading the Brazil threads, don't we all just appreciate so much more reading Euro100 latest escapades rather than some other Brazil veteran's view, simply because we know Euro100 so well from his outstanding reports in the FKK threads?
And what happens when such debates takes place without FKK veterans participating? Well, I tell you what:
This forum contains an Opinions / Editorial section with a thread called 'Which Country in Europe is the best value for money for punting? '. Today, after 10 reports, the conclusion is that you find best value for money in Prague, the small apartments in Spanish Costa del Sol, and in the German Partytreff scene. Can you believe that crap!?!! Not a word of the FKK scene ... Some of you well travelled gents with integrity ought to put things straight in that thread.
Well, at least it makes me happy that we now finally have a lounge where we - among other things - can discuss the p4p world from a FKK perspective.
Peace. Out.
