First I'd like to welcome all of the recent newcomers to the board. I hope that we all can learn from each other. Please take the time to update your BIO in your profile. You do not have to add any personally identifiable information if it makes you feel uncomfortable but it does make it nice to be able to see exactly who I am responding to. Maybe it's just me but when I notice a new name appearing I usually look up that user's profile to get an idea about that user.

I hope that all visitors will find these forums a fun and enlightening experience. I appreciate when others keep it civil and avoid the subjects which seem to get serious disagreements started such as religion and politics. Disagreement is just a fact of life and can actually be positive in nature. There's no doubt that there is more than one way to run your Lawson System, so sharing our differences can open our eyes to options we may not have considered.

The one thing I can promise is that if I post a response that it will be at worst in good humor and at best based upon facts as my personal experience has shown to be true. I make no claims to be right all of the time. I even admit that sometimes I'm wrong, but not by intention. Rest assured that if I am providing my best guess I will make that clear that it is in fact a guess. It is my wish that all members will remember that there are far more lurkers than posters all from very diverse backgrounds. Hopefully all will come here to add to or sip from the the well of Lawson Community Knowledge.

Thanks for listening!
