was discussed last week. Essentially an accomplice/confidant of an SP/ MPA etc that posts glowing reviews claiming to be an independant poster. Designed to get brisk business for the provider by creating a buzz.

I agree here

in general I believe that LancsLad always provides valuable insight, and his posts should always be read because they are good

repeat? yes, in the future I will read LancsLad's posts

That was just a great review by freshbreath, he covered all aspects of the encounter. Clearly that is why 9 out of 10 TERBites surveyed rated him excellent.
