    I really enjoyed reading this article. I’m actually committing Sin #2 ‘Waiting too long to comment’! However, I felt compelled to express appreciation, since I think many of these you enumerate are unconscious mistakes that can easily be rectified.

    • Hi James,I regret for your waiting! We are a small staff, with so many things to do… we have had a big growth in the last few months and sometimes we have to follow the priorities like developing our current working projects so it could take some days to have a reply from us. Thank you for your kind appreciation.
      My suggestion for the future, not to loose the news and to stay in touch is to “Like it” Varda Facebook page
