(Sorry right coasters.) The reason for this request is that as we all know
in our "business lives" people seem to have a penchant for persecuting too
much and being very miserly with praise. Putting on a successful event is a
thankless and terrible job, so take some time (providing you feel as I do,)
to compliment the Sage's, Steve Alcala and many others for a fine
event.....note what you liked. The best way to make sure that good behavior
is repeated is to make damn sure you praise said behavior. Need I remind the
list that we continued the thread on "goose poop" ad-nauseum for nearly two
months last year? >>
I agree. Wholeheartedly. If this was indeed a good event, then by all means
pile it on! If we're going to come down so hard on the goose-poop/butt-hump
events, let's not be stingy with the praise for the 'at-a-boy/girl events.
Allan, you are right on target here.
When SOME people start to realize that other people really can tell the
difference between a goose-poop/butt-hump event and an 'at-a-boy/girl event,
then maybe, just maybe, SOME people will slowly start to think about
abandoning their goose-poop/butt-hump tendencies.
