I think it's a fatally flawed concept in reality but may well perform its
primary purpose of making the originator a bundle before it goes
belly-up--and remember, _that's_ the fundamental objective. If it happens
to connect one or two individuals to a contractor on the way, so much the
better, but that's pretty much a sidelight I think.

imo, ymmv, $0.02, etc.,etc., ...

I know a couple of contractors that never advertise, are not listed in the
Yellow Pages, yet have all the work they can handle. They don't want to be
on Angie's or anyone's list for that reason. I'm cautious as to whom I'd
recommend them

That, too...the _best_ are normally in that class of having more work
than they can handle simply by "walk-in" referrals...
