slice Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 As above, it's sometimes best to say HELLO before you ask advice from strangers, an INTRO in the new members section would not go amiss (hint)! We get A LOT of one hit wonders who want advice and then without a "Thank you" are never seen again, it gets annoying that folks seem to have forgotten to say Hello before they ask for advice. But be that as it may Welcome to the YOC and we hope you stick around.
