I need to have subscribe to comments because I don't have time to check your blog to see if you replied with some sage/crazy advice every 15 minutes. @everyone else who has never paid for marketing - now I feel dumb because I have. I also just signed up an SEO firm so here I go again paying to help customers find me. @IttyBiz Naomi - I'll be posting about my SEO experience...first post up today. I gave them some of the target market ideas (PPD, etc.) to help them create the program. Now I've got to write a post that can get to the front page of Digg. Hmmm. Maybe I can hire you to do that. What would be the ROI on that? Top page of Digg = 100 sales of Babble Soft applications = very happy Me! @potty mouth Naomi – I have to agree with James.

(OK, when Michael Brito said his wife was jealous of me, that was pretty cool, too.) Thank you. I'm honored to have you in my life. And feel free to ponder - you'll discover nothing evil or yucky. I work with you because you won my contest. I'm nice to you because you're my friend. @ Margie – That was the nicest thing anybody’s said to me in a very, very long time.

It is true that business colleagues get recommendations, and I would not have hesitated to recommend you based on our conversations about business and blogging. But once we exchanged dog pictures and confessions about box wine, you passed into the sphere of friends ... and friends become folks that I would go out of my way (and even spend money on) to help ... and that, my dear, is a small sphere of people indeed. Whether this occurred by happenstance or by Machiavellian design I do not care to ponder, as this is the season of blessings and this year you are one of mine.

Please? Pretty please? How in the hell am I supposed to artificially inflate my stats if I get something that allows you to read the comments from the comfort of your inbox? By which I mean... Thank you for the feedback. I will email Chris tomorrow. @ James – Will you SHUT UP about “Subscribe To Comments”? Please? Pretty please?

I must be fecking entertaining. That or I just can totally relate to stories where we're crashing into things and generally making fools of ourselves. Oh, and you do refer. I have yet to be able to return the favor, but you know I will when I'm not having to take every job on earth for fear of starvation.
