Not even a debatable point
Well said Gos. I am always astonished with the patience that the Linguist here shows with fellows like this. Anyone seeing the remarks the Coolbengalur guy has made, would result in his getting help even less.[QUOTE=Gos 44]On a sober note, minus PM facility and, in some cases, credible reports, the chances of landing contacts are somewhat slim.

Some thoughts about the chicken and egg problem
I agree with coolbengalur that it is a chicken and egg problem.
I guess that the seniors could hand out locations and contacts of reliable MP's to help newbies build a reputation. Also, of reliable pimps who advertise online or in newspapers. Since these pimps and mp's advertise openly, they will be prepared to handle any client that shows up. I don't even see it as giving out contacts. Its more like recommending pimps/MP.
Of course, seniors may feel that recommending mp's and pimps who advertise may hurt the seniors themselves because increase in number of clients may drive up prices or reduce availability of girls at that pimp/MP. However, recommending good mp/pimps will drive the bad ones out of business soon and help the good ones expand business, thus improving the entire mongering scene.
Disclaimer: the above is an market-theory based analysis of the problem. Some seniors may already be helping newbies with the above "recommendations" and I may be totally unaware of it, since I am a newbie myself.
[QUOTE=Coolbengalur]Thanks EL.
As Slovenian mentioned, I admire your patience in replying to me.
I would not have replied calmly to some provocative message like mine
Having said that, I still think that some process needs to be put in place to provide contacts to newer members other than waiting them to report out their experiences and build credibility.
It will be a classic case of Chicken and Egg and may end up with Newbies posting bogus reports.

And a couple of Euro cents
Frankly, the "risk" issue, when it comes to mongering, seems to be more of a concern in India, since I did not find anyone talk about risks when it related to mongering activity anywhere in Europe or in Asian places like Singapore. Your compatriot Gautama, the Enlightened One, said that one should NOT do anything in thought, word or deed which causes guilt. So, disclosing your name and billing detail to a charity that collects your funds for the ISG subscription would not be a cause for any guilt, would it? On top of that, all reference to your name and billing address is erased from the ISG servers soon after the money is realized, and the "username" you have nominated for the subscription is credited almost immediately with the one year facility.
What you have said about the ways for newbies, WantToChat is very valid.[QUOTE=WantToChat]Of course, any activity of this nature is a risk. Enough Gyan (knowledge) from me. Be safe!![/QUOTE]
