HH1 Posted 24March, 2015 Report Share Posted 24March, 2015 Hi Everyone, I've been religiously reading PFA for several months now and its struck me how many people of different backgrounds there are on board. We've got Professionals, Tradies, Engineers, Business people, IT personnel and a whole lot more. Many of you are already familiar with each other and many others just by their avatar on PFA. There seems to be a great deal of camaraderie on board. I don't know if this has been discussed before or if its a taboo subject and I apologise on the outset if it is, but wouldn't it make sense to create a list of all the different professions and specialties of those members who are willing to lend a hand in their chosen profession, that would be beneficial to all concerned. It would be splendid if all members are benefited by professional advice, goods & services or just some re-assurances. It could be on a mates rates basis or any other proposal. What do you think? Cheers, Sohan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
