Every so often you come across a quote like that which sums up something you intuit but can't verbalize. Dave, I like that quote.

They don't like it - and it should leave you feeling hollow.

In my experience, effective networking [translation: relationships] be they online or off are fundamentally built on and driven by an attitude and philosophy of giving not getting. Most of us know when we are being used as a means to and end, and so far as I can recall I don't think I have ever met anyone who liked the feeling. So if someone is going to express themselves to others and certainly if they expect the type of responses and interaction and engagement that you look for then like yourself they need to demonstrate both their willingness to give along with their desire to listen and learn. Conrad,

I have no idea how people that do this a lot, like Robert Hruzek manage some of their events with posts from various people. Well, this entry turned into a brick when it came through the process. Of course I whined around and complained, so GL went to work to try to get the formatting back in shape. And he went above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you, GL. I really appreciate the work you put in!

For me, it's the joy of blogging, the relationships. The readers become real friends and I find myself looking forward to the exchanges at various times throughout the day. As I recall, you are one of the very first hookups I made in Social Networking - way back at Christmas. :-) Brad, I couldn’t agree more. For me, it’s the joy of blogging, the relationships.

It never ceases to amaze me how, by showing a little of ourselves, expressing real interest in someone (just as you would do over coffee), how easy it is to strike up relationships with people all over the world.
