Of course you realize I was talking about his professional credentials, right?

Seriously though, there's a ton of good stuff on ya out there which tells me you care, @datlas. Usually people only post reviews if they're pissed off or really impressed and the impressed outnumber the pissed by a ton. That guy was probably drug seeking. 
I love the remark about the car, was that genuine or was that you who stuck that in there?

I'm guessing that's so deep it will never present a shipping hazard. Or am I giving them too much credit?

That was my thought. They must be planning to leave it there. Or am I giving them too much credit?

INSERT_TITLE_HERE
Should we change to a closed club and only add people that request from here?
Etc...
I'm the current admin on it, but I may be able to add others. And I'm open to suggestions.

I guess I could set the location to near me, that we if we get local rando's (there may be like 3-4 of them now, looking at the list), then I'd least I'd have some idea WTF they are.

It's gotta be simpler and less prone to user error than hooking the front of the saddle over the rack.

Bummer, but here is my rationale. "Rate your doctor" is kinda like "rate your parents," if patients give me bad reviews because I said no to their request for percocet or Ambien, or that I am mean because I told them to eat healthy, exercise, and lose weight, that might not be good for "customer service" but I really need to do what is RIGHT/BEST for them, which may be not what they want. If that gets me a lower customer satisfaction score, so be it.
