Bring back ... A Question For The Port Trade?

Post by Roy Hersh »

I am considering bringing back the popular but short lived "A Question for the Port Trade" column which I had started last year or late 2006. Either way, is this something that you folks enjoyed in the newsletter. It is a ton of work sending out individual emails as many in Portugal are not frequent checkers of their email accounts. Reminders always have to be sent, except for a few gentlemen who were always very kind and quick in their participation.

So before embarking on this newsletter project, please do let me see if this is an area you found worthy. If I see enough call to do so, I'll reinstate it by the 2nd half of the year.

This is something I really like to read. It brings us inside information not easy to get.

But I think it might not always have to involve all the port trade. Sometimes a small question from a reader that needs to be double check by a single port producer could bring interesting information to all readers and still be considered "port trade question" section.

Although I already replied above, just thought I would add that this feature is something that was truely unique to FTLOP, and not to be found anywhere else. Added value for sure!

Yes. Without doubt.


...and I agree with Frederick. each question does not have to be aimed at everyone in the trade.
