Hi Damon,

I didn't mean all posters - just the select few.

Yes, turning freelance for the first time can be a lonely experience, you
lose colleagues and have no-one in the pub to buy a beer for (or to buy you
a beer as is often the case). After a while you get over that cos of
developing social friends in similar situations, but it does take a while.

I am glad the freelance forum has been good for you,people can be
opinianated about their beliefs,but thats just people as a whole anyway.
