It drives me batshit. But I digress.<BR/><BR/>I agree, definitely, when it comes to the chattering which is wasted time. More product, less patter. Everything else is just bluster with little backing it.<BR/><BR/>:)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592584406221528110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19154645.post-39977384863006181352007-12-28T09:10:00.000-08:002007-12-28T09:10:00.000-08:00The plan is to reopen with a more pleasing and, pe...The plan is to reopen with a more pleasing and, perhaps, a more perfume porn worthy aesthetic :D<BR/><BR/>The boards, the mailing lists, all that CAN be helpful, but more likely waste time that could be used more efficiently actually STUDYING perfumery rather than chattering on about it ~ especially with newbies who don't really want to put in the years it takes to learn it properly, but instead want to pick the brains of those who've been at it a while.<BR/><BR/>I'm putting together another post that will address this more thoroughly.
