I’m a firm believer in being nice to people, what’s to be gained by being nasty? Luckily most people are the same. Unfortunately on the internet some people aren’t and experiments like making the Discussion Board open to anyone didn’t really work! It’s also true that “it’s the squeaky wheel that gets cleaned” and I only really ever hear from people if they have problems or specific questions. Which is why this week I’ve been totally bowled over by the response I got from asking on the Japanese newsletter for help on a new project. The replies from people have been so amazing. The “6,000 people a day” statistics tend to lose their meaning over time, but actually hearing from you makes all the difference. So thank you, everyone, for offering your time and your nice words. It makes me want to try even more!
