    reintroducing myself

    Hello to everyone on this forum. I have been lurking on this forum for almost a year now. I posted a few questions a while back, and everyone was very helpful thank you for this. I have gathered as much knowledge form this forum and the people contributing as I possibly could. Now i feel i need to take the time and contribute and give back.
    Because of this forum and the information posted here I am finally feeling successful. I hated my job and the people around me in the work place. I saw wasteful discarding of all different kinds of metal, and i knew I could profit from this. This is what brought me to find this forum (to maximize profits).
    Because of the regular posters and people that shared their knowledge, I was able to put aside enough money to quit my job and start my own business. I used my profits from scrapping to buy the tools and equipment needed to start a landscaping company. I can now make what i made in a week in less than a day.
    I just want to say thank you to all and that it would have been much harder to do it with out you. I have always wanted to write the pay-checks not receive. Now i am the person who writes the checks. Again thanks to all!

    I love to read the success stories. Congrats on being able to chase your dream. We've have had many success stories related on the forum and I have enjoyed each one. The thing I have noticed in common in all is reading the forum, applying the information and lots of hard work. My small success can be traced directly to those who have generously shared their knowledge and experiences. I thank you and the others of this forum. Mike.
