Christine, You were most kind to pass this forum on to your friends. Hope they appreciate your effort.and stop by. Your friends could become our friends too.

Mary Thanks for the invite. I wish something like this had been around when I first came too Adland. Linda

Hello Anamaria, I could not find the rules either, so I contacted Adlandpro and asked. Maybe we have pointed out something to them that they should know. Knowing the guidelines should encourage rather than discourage forum participation. To all our new people just jump right in and hit the post button. It is just like swimming.....get your feet wet first. Type a few words and hit the post button. Anamarie, you are to be admired. English is a second language to you and your participation in forums is increasing your skills in using the language. Using forums will assist you to communicate with English speaking people, a neccesity for making it on the internet. Here is a nice place to practice.

Hi Craftie, Well better late than never. So here it is and we can apply these thoughts to our use of the forums. I learned to post by watching what others posted. Then it seemed like maybe I was following some bad examples. Time to find some good examples, led to finding some good friends. That led to finding good forums where one can learn how to do business on the internet.

Yes Mary, it is so. First I was kind of afraid to post not to do something wrong due to not interpreting well some sentences, or missusing some words, or translating not propperly something I was thinking of. You know, sometimes one can never know what might hit, when is not sure on the direction LOL Than, by time, realizing that here are so many wonderful and understanding people that are acting as true friends, I've got more courage and of caurse my "English thinking" got and is still getting more and more practiced! It is important for everyone to know that most of the people here on Adland are very friendly and willing to help and support you; so there is no need to be scared about being missunderstand. The very few who "throw" the stone are not to be mentioned. There are far more willing to help and understand and we always have our chance to fix some mistakes we could eventualy do. I wrote all this for our other friends that might be feeling like I was at the beginning. I just want to let them know that they are not alone, and they have support here. Thank you Mary for this! With friendship, Anamaria
