The idea of exchanging experiences with peers and colleagues, about
potential clients or employers is good, though formalizing the most
appropriate, effective, and (choose one or more: reliable, factual,
neutral, legally-safe, non-emotional) mechanism is a major problem.
Sometimes less is more. One approach could be simply posting to the list
something like, "I'm interested in working for the following
client/employer, in city X. Does anyone have direct experience to share
PRIVATELY with me?"
This is the best I can do with $0.02 worth of opinion. (Should that be
$0.02's worth?<G>)
