Personally, I'm not a fan of "re-checking" Okays.
I find that too often the provider can't remember exactly who they are talking about and goes off on a rant about someone completely different. Or says "I can't remember, sorry" and then the provider checking thinks that means the provider is saying that she didn't actually give the Okay (which isn't possible, there are no ghosts giving Okays). We have lots of unnecessary issues that come up because of the re-checking of Okays.
P411 was actually first built so that providers would stop contacting my agency (Private Connection) for references, because it was really becoming bothersome and overwhelming.... we would never say anything more than "he was Okay" anyway... and in my mind, saying anything more than that is pretty indiscreet.

I hardly think that any of those 100 Okays would be able to accurately predict the fucknut's FUTURE behavior. Unfortunately.
Now, even though I don't personally think that re-checking Okays is really all that great of a screening method, I do support each providers right to do her screening in any way she sees fit. P411 is only intended to be used as one tool in the verification process, and if you wish to contact the Okays, go for it. However, I also understand and support the ladies who don't want to be bother with repeating themselves. The whole point of P411 is so that you only need to say "he is OKAY" once.... not 100 times to every single provider the client happens to contact. So if some providers choose not to respond, that's their prerogative.
Always,
