I've been lurking in the background for a couple of months now, and some of the information and indirect advice has been quite valuable to me.
I think it's great that such a forum exists for us to share experiences and knowledge...helping us all grow and develop in the process.
It also gives us the opportunity to talk to others, who are similarly boxed up in a darkened, quite often windowless room for many hours a day.....

I've decided to switch to becoming an active participant on these forums today, to try and broaden the scope of the forum a bit, as a lot of the experience is obviously US based, and while some things are obviously universal across the globe, others, such as customs and legalities are not. It's great that more people are joining the forum from other countries, and I would like to encourage them to also become active participants in discussions. Perspective can sometimes become a little difficult to come by, if we never get exposed to something different

so there you are.....now lets open this up for all the handbag sellers to spam in
