Thanks for the detailed explanation of your views. Still…. Bumping is an individual decision of forum member isn’t it? Your guidelines are yours. However if a forum member feels the need to “bump” out of curiosity, they will. Not much you can do about it.
However, I agree on your first point in that if there is lack of info, then someone has to go first and report back. Usually it will be an adventurous soul with spare funds. Not someone who is sacred to dip their toe. But still can’t stop a bump.
On your second point, I was actively curious about the provider and wanted to see if there was a more recent experience. And there was. So it achieved my objective. If there had been no response that would be ok too. In fact that is more telling; fact that a bump gets nada says that there is no forum member willing to give it a go.
