I've had occasion to use some of the products I've got in inventory for my own purposes. One thing I can say is this experience taught me a lot. It's not that this is new to me at all but I was able to see things through someone else's eyes and the view is quite different.

One think I've learned is the stench principle. I'm told that if ...
