Hmmm. Seriously, Bill, a terrific piece. Too often, we ask someone what he or she thought about something we did, and all we are looking for is praise. That's why I love evaluations after I do a presentation. I will always grade myself on the talk, but it is only when I see the evaluations from the victims -- I mean participants -- that I know whether or not I hit the mark. Though it may be painful to read negative reviews, they give me the feedback I need to improve, so I can be better the next time. John So, what are you trying to tell me, my butt looks fat? Hmmm.
