You seem to mistake me for someone who wanted the "help" that you are
offering.

how is what you describe different from what happens with groupage?

Because it's not groupage.

what picking list? your goods are on pallets aren't they?

That's how they arrive

who is breaking your pallets and picking things???

At the moment members of my family.

So, you made some incorrect assumptions and gave me "advice" based on
those assumptions.

You may want to see someone about your issues. You're losing your rag
because I'm not falling at your feet and declaring you to be a genius
for suggesting something that has been tried and found wanting.

eh??
In general it seems you give yourself too much credit :))

If you spent more time working (and thinking) at it and less time
posting so prolifically on all manner of newsgroups (and usually
moaning) - you might be a bit better at it.....

Ah, again you're an expert on how hard I work are you? And I see you're
trying the line of "you post to Usenet, so do I, therefore you're a lazy
*******". Can you see where that breaks down?

But thanks for proving your credentials as yet another armchair expert.
