    The first and best advice I received on this forum was to read old threads. I constantly still do! When I welcome a new member I encourage them to do the same. And I am not the only one to advise them to do so. But some just don't get it,or they are just lazy. Either way its their loss. It would have taken me years to learn the information that I learned in those first few months of researching old threads. And I am still learning! Lazy people rarely succeed in a business like this, if ever.

    HAHa! Junkfreak really does read the old threads. I only know cause when JF thanks my posts I can see their dates, an some are from back when I joined! I imagine members who've been here awhile see the same thing. I like getting thanks on posts but it's always sweeter when you see their coming from older posts but newer members. Shows their going back an reading the archives like we all harp on.

    I know I did when I first joined. I must've spent a month or two reading before doing my intro. Then another month or two before I started posting more. I also apply to the method of read, an do. Sure I could sit around an wait for answers but usually my curiosity gets the best of me an it gets broken down or at lest open so I can see the innards for my own future reference.

    I'm one of the few who does ewaste an doesn't really care about reselling stuff. Do I resell? Of course. I won't lie tho, I don't all the time. I have a selling background. There's a reason I got tired of it an decided to go off an do something else.

    An I'm sure I've said it before in posts like this. Unless your my accountant, banker/loan officer, investor, or a possible buyer of my business...all you/anyone needs to know is I do just fine with my income. I'm not rich nor claim to be. I do well enough that I'm happy an so is my wife. So therefore..I will not discuss my finances on a forum open to the entire public. Especially when I know competition from my area or nearby is on here. Talk about making yourself a target..haha! No thanks.

    Paranoid? Perhaps. In this day and age I trust nobody when it comes to my finances or banking.
