I joined his OF page within the last month or two and it is definitely up to date and current.  He offers to make you a personalized welcome video for new members and OMG that voice!  Out of curiosity, I perused his Amazon wish list. A very long list of books - all involving history, biography and politics. He seems like a very interesting guy.

This reminds me of a situation I found myself in a hundred years ago. Way before the internet, when I was a puppy, I remember lusting over a particular classified ad, probably in LA's Frontiers Magazine (remember that?)  One night I finally worked up the nerve to call his number. A sexy voice answered "Hello?" and I froze. Paralyzed in shyness, I hung up immediately, without saying a word. Immediately my phone rang back. I knew he had "star 69ed" me. (Remember that?) I felt so guilty about hanging up on him, I just couldn't ignore him again, so I picked up. He sounded so nice, so reassuring, so friendly (and sexy) that I let him talk me into meeting.  And, boy, I was so glad he did. He was all that and more!
So I guess I have nothing against a provider contacting me if I've shown interest. Not that it happens very often! 🙂

Or, they could stop reducing the space between rows.

I'm not sure if this has been addressed, but it would be great if providers' phone numbers were searchable.

Ya gotta love it...

I would think paying for a membership to Rentmen would entitle a subscriber to have any honest, less-than-five-star review stay on display, rather than being subject to removal by the provider.
Speaking of reviews, are there any plans to resurrect that function on this site?

I may be stuck in the past. If so, I'm sure some here will let me know.
The purpose of language is to facilitate communication, both oral and written. In order for language to fulfill its purpose, it's users must have a common understanding of the rules of usage (nouns, verbs, adjectives, and tenses, for example), as well as understanding and agreement on the meaning of words. When those with richer vocabularies communicate with those less enriched, clear communication suffers. Is it the responsibility of the more gifted to speak slowly and in fewer syllables to the hearer, or is it rather a hearer's opportunity to enrich themselves to a higher level of linguistic capability? (Gore Vidal once criticized Norman Mailer, saying that he (Mailer) never sent a reader to the dictionary. One man's clear communication is another man's teachable moment. It's a matter of perspective.)
Creating new applications for commonly used words and language conventions will also impede clear communications, unless and until the majority of people are on the same page, so to speak.
I try to be polite and civil in my dealings with all I meet and will willingly address someone as their apparent gender. If, for example, a man is dressed as woman (hair, dress, makeup) and it's not Halloween, I'll call him Ma'am. If it is Halloween, I'll stand mute until provided with clarification. But to expect me to remember the pronoun preferences of everyone I meet, especially if they run counter to the conventions I spent all my school years learning, may be too new a trick for too old a dog. It is, at any rate, confusing to the dog, as well as -in view of its rising prevalence- annoyingly tedious.
And why is consideration in this matter a one-way street, whereon I must give it but can't expect to get it?

It’s confusing. Makes no sense to me.
