what do they typically ask? the reason im wondering is because i have a pretty large client list (for the home users) and i of course want to pick the best people for them to talk to - but that depends on what they're going to talk about.
ethics?
technical experience?
???

So, how many of you are in BWL-farming guilds? Or, at least, BWL capable? As the 1.9 patch approaches I'm really looking forward to Ahn Qiraj and feel fortunate to be in the position to experience that content. Then it struck me that probably a good 90% of players aren't at that level. I guess.
Anyway, I'm not trying to gloat, I'm just curious as to who else out there is enjoying the wow endgame.

Well, those old tales are long gone, those wacky shackmods don't have anything on the fella's at the overclockers.com.au forums - I can't be assed going into the whole story but wow it makes me laugh how petty and smallminded some moderators are and also how they get so wrapped up in their little "important world" and badge that you just want to strangle them and say wake the fuck UP! it's a forum on the INTERNET, seriously some people need to get a life.
(TLDR, 1 month ban because I tried to sell an item on the forum which is new, the don't like that because stores do it for free advertising, so after they de-listed it, I re-listed the item a day later, without any mention of being and mentioning it was used, BANNED!) (first time too...)
Oh and the mod is going to "request for a perm ban since you've already sold it through our forum!") lols I can almost see the guy getting all flustered and having to shoo his cat off the keyboard to type the email to the "boss" urgently!!

I have a question about a christmas card. I have a client of mine who is blind. Actually, both he and his wife are blind. I want to send him a Christmas Card but I wasn't sure if this would be appropriate.
Should I send it to his office so his secretary can read it to him?
Anybody have any insight on this type of issue?
