SPECIAL MESSAGE : MY DEAR CS HOSTS

In my opinion, the first part of being a CSers, is not surfing, is not hosting, but is communicating and respecting.
Please, just have to courtesy to answer requests. You don't have to justify yourself with a message is you don't want to, declining is fine. I usually takes long time and care to find people I think I could get along with, read through profile and stuff. I take as much care if not more in the message I write. That's why I don't send tons of requests at the same time (and I am against that). I might send 2 or 3, and as part of being thoughtful and respectful, I try to wait for replies before I decide to send other requests.
As you can imagine, late or lack of answer results in time lost, shorter notice and unfortunately lack of chance for another wonderful experience.
Thanks for your understanding and your efforts to keep this as a humanly rich community and not an emotionally blind industry.
Cheers!

CURRENT MISSION

Keep exploring this wonderful Earth. Meet amazing people along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't do to others what you wouldn't want them to do to you.
