This quote is from later in the thread rather than the original post. There were "some" emails back & forth, which i read as multiple then a confirmation of the session date.

As for deposit, what Domme who requires a deposit never mentions it right up front, let alone in the course of multiple emails to confirm a date?

i do agree with "well-known" not necessarily meaning to him what it might mean to us. But, You know me Mistress so i think You'll totally believe that i know the behind the scenes business stuff of several "well-known" Dommes that don't want deposits even from new clients (3 different ones off the top of my head) . i, like You, have been surprised when each one told me this but they feel they read people well enough that they rarely, if ever, get burned by it *shrug*.

100% agree on the fact that it was unprofessional of the Domme to not take a minute & just reply, but we don't know how many emails "some" is or whether the Domme even looked at the deposit emails because she was already past her limit from the emails just settling on a date.
