James and Brett,

Bwah ha ha.

I wasn’t fishing for compliments, and I think I can safely say now, it’s a good thing I wasn’t.

Glenn,

Thank you! Turnabout’s fair. I’m often jealous of your posts. Glad you liked it.

Until later,

Kelly

Let me just say, I am totally jealous because I didn’t think of this post’s title first.

Then you follow it with a great and highly relevant quote.

Then you make an extremely cogent point.

Ahhh, Hell! I’m jealous of the whole durn thing:-)

Well said.

Regards,

Glenn

Asides my morning coffee, I can't say that there's one person I NEED in my day. I need people in general. Conversation, talk, sharing, idea brainstorming... Pick ONE? Sheesh. James Chartrand - Men with Pens’s last blog post...Finding More Time For Yourself

No worries if my RSS fails me. I'd miss you again after a while and be driving across town. This is exactly the point you were making. This is not about tricking your customers or catching them somehow. It's not about sales funnels. This is about fulfilling some deep value that they'd come back looking for even if their RSS fails or their email address changes.

The poor guy has no idea the hopes of a couple of corners of the blogosphere hang on him. Good on you both.

Kelly,

I’m glad you caught that lest I sounded less than positive! He (the new CEO) seems a very proactive guy, both Friar & I have emailed him and received responses – that’s just so non-Factorylike, it’s scary

Todd,

As long as your RSS doesn’t try to foil me again!

Brett,

Ah. Now that tragic difficulty is the “angle from the psychotic megacorp mentality.” Yuck.

And yes, you have hundreds of readers hanging on the performance of your new CEO—do email him again, we’d love to hear that *he* exceeds expectations!

Until later,

Kelly
