I am loving number four on the list. If you don’t have anything nice to say, say it in a non-venomous way or not at all. Trying to be active in the blog-o-shpere can be hazardous to your health and the delete key is your friend. I once saw a show where Dave Chappelle and Maya Angelou were talking about dealing with critism, and she said that she chooses not to pick up the negative things. She ignores them instead. I’ve always remembered what she said, it just struck a chord with me. I think that was Iconoclasts from 2006. Great show and a classy woman.

Nice post, keep ’em coming!

The amount of praise and encouragement I’ve seen (and received) well exceeds what I expected, and is more than I’ve seen in many other businesses. For such a competitive industry, you are all some of the nicest people I’ve ever met!

Keep up the good work. :)

It is nice to see “inside” sometimes. Also very cool to see that you all have such an enduring working relationship with so little turn-over. That says a lot about your company.
