This is just a word of advice - let your agency know you frequent these boards, and you are very cognizant of the information out there about agencies. They likely won't like that. If they tell you to stay off the boards, here or Yahoo, do not use them.

Good luck!

Yes, I also always recommend googling any agency you are considering as well as the director's name...
