This is our last newsletter for 2010 and we would like to thank you for your support over the past 12 months. This was, of course, a big year for Forkliftaction.com, celebrating our 10th anniversary and launching the first major overhaul of our news service, and we’re all ready for a bit of a rest.
We’ll be back on January 6th, with a comprehensive review of the year that has been and some forecasts for 2011. Let’s hope that we have a more predictable year without the many surprises of the recent past. But most of all, let’s remember the bigger picture - and try to make positive contributions to society and humanity.
Wishing you all the best for the festive season and everything you wish for yourself in the New Year.
