Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Another FedEx rate hike for '09
I was listening to the news on my way home from work this morning, and they said FedEx has announced a 7% increase for all express packages - effective Jan 09.
Yay

Package delivery company FedEx Corp said on Friday that it planned to increase rates on its ground and home delivery services by an average of 5.9 percent in 2009.
The Memphis, Tennessee-based company said in September it would raise rates on its express service by an average 6.9 percent next year.
FedEx said the increases would be partially offset by adjustments to the formula it uses to set its fuel surcharge, a move the company said would reduce the surcharge by 2 percentage points.

That's now our annual News Year's present from FedEx, they've raised their prices every January for several years now.
Couple that with their share of the extra shipping they'll be picking up from DHL and they're profits will be up more than ever for next year.
