Ellen, I think it would be easier if you simply read the thread.
Scaremongering and negative thinking is doing no one any good. I think girls would be best to get on to those other directories and getting themselves listed instead of continually posting negative thoughts. At least if you do that you may get calls from other avenues. You definitely won't get calls if you are not listed anywhere.
Now lets think positively instead of all this doom and gloom. Life is too short. If we are not prepared to do the legwork on other directories then we should say nothing.
