Yes folks, as with most things, I have a theory as to why the reactions of the E-I members were markedly different to those of the IIE membership regarding the list scandal. Firstly if you look at the advertising rate structure, you will see that IIE is more attractive for many touring escorts. IIE charges a touring escort 130 Euro for any tour of up to one month in duration, whereas E-I charges 100 Euro per week of the tour. Secondly, if you look at the profile of escorts on both sites, IIE has a very small number of resident escorts and a substantially larger number of touring escorts at any given time. E-I on the other hand, has far more resident escorts. Thirdly, from my recollection, all the escorts involved in this list are touring escorts from IIE and they actually discussed setting up this list on the IIE private escort forum. Add to this the fact the IIE offers a 10 Euro discount to clients who book an escort on line.

So I would suggest that a much higher proportion of IIE members rely solely or partly on these touring escorts for their jollies and therefore a greater proportion of them should feature on the list.

The other reason of course is that this topic has been running over there since at least the 13th December and was building up a head of steam as people worked themselves up into a lather. Apart from the recession/escort prices, this was probably the only thread of any significance over there for the past two months. Whereas over here, we were deflected by lizzy and the mods/free speach debate.

What really surprises me, is that even though Paws has been locked away in Soapland since the this scandal broke, he has remained as quite as a church mouse on such an important issue.
