Why don't you post on UG anymore?

Wait a minute...
HvB doeen't post anymore because of a nother poster?
What kind of logic is that?
Moreover, if one no longer posts, how can they vote in the poll (and then put up a post about why they don't post)?
I must have just passed through the Looking Glass.
edit: BTW I didn't vote. If you guys weren't taking pokes at each other there'd be hardly any daily volume.

That is about right imo. The way I would put it is that as the fraction of the posts that are basically UG self-referential material increases, my interest decreases. By "UG self-referential material" I mean posts that are primarily about UG or other UGers or the poster's own UG persona/conduct, as opposed to posts that are about something that exists independent of UG (whether it be provider reviews or discussions of hobbying/providing in general or Off Topic discussions of movies or politics or even the damn audio equipment). It is possible to get drawn into intense self-referential discussions, as most of us (including me) do at times, but in the long run that sort of thing does not sustain a net community in my experience.
(Of course, this whole thread is self-referential material.)
((Btw, I tried to vote for two items on the list, but it would only let me do one, fwiiw.))

I have curtailed my posting of reviews simply because the majority of the women I currently see wish to remain way under the radar.
When I make the aquaintaince of someone that I discover is not a total newbie and is seeking additional clients, I do disclose my ability to write a review, and ask permission. I have found out on numerous occasions that the providers are quite unprepared to deal with the deluge of e - mails or phone calls that are the actual result of a positive UG review. This ultimately results in a request to have the review altered or contact information deleted.
I don't let other posters board persona detract from my like/dislike of UG. Some I find informative, others amusing. I find some peoples conduct and opinions appalling and others refreshing.
Just like in real life, it truly takes all kinds. I have learned to not take internet communication too seriously, but I do value honesty and quality information. If you have been around here for a while, you know which posters tastes run similar to your own, and who is just shilling for discounted sessions. It is easy to figure out after a previously reviewed session if the reviewer was giving you the staight dope on things. In short, you learn who to trust, and who to follow.
I applaud those who have the courage to bare their souls here. Often, I find myself identifying with their thoughts exactly. It offers me solace, in some strange way, that there are others who think, feel and act the way I do. Misery truly does love company. In the same vain it is nice to be around those of like mind.
I enjoy seeing others benefit from my labor. Even in real life, if I find a way to do something quicker, better, or cheaper, I have no problem sharing. I would hope that those that benefit from my knowledge, have the courtesy to share their knowlege in return.
Perhaps I have read way too much into this issue. One cannot deny that posting is way down.
Are finances tight?
Have people found alternative ways of choosing a provider?
