That's part of what I like about the forum, Mary, the diversity of it. I also like that many of us are not directly competing with each other for shops. We come here for a lot of reasons. I'm sure most new posters are here to learn. When I started shopping in 2008 I grabbed all the knowledge I could from the forum. Many long-time shoppers come here like you would go to an employee breakroom ...... to socialize and visit with co-workers ..... because MSing is a pretty solitary job. We come here to share thoughts, ideas, how-tos, and information about companies ..... mostly things that are not location-specific.
