Knowing your impeccable reputation for attribution, I knew the CCASA statement was not necessary, but since that particular wording occurred to me at the precise moment that I was preparing to type “yes”, I decided to go ahead and type it before I forgot it. I have been meaning to update the license info on my about page for a while and I think that is the way I want to describe it.

Yes, I do recall the 100 comment posts. My visitors will not let me forget it. I received a new comment this morning (on a different post) requesting a free copy of Office.

And, your post is still in my “speed-dial” list. As of now, I still have the last word there. I guess some people talk too much, right?

Oh yes, Luke, we perfected conversation extension technique in a couple recent 100 comment post conversations, as I'm sure you will recall. Right? Of course, when I use your brilliant line, I will give you full credit and linkage. Half the fun of collecting these things is attributing them back to the originator!

Sure thing, Brad. I hold to the philosophy of “Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike.” Basically, as long as you do not do anything to keep me from publishing my own work, you are free to republish too, and a link-back sure would be appreciated.

How do like that? A whole paragraph when a simple yes, would have worked just as well. I guess that is another way to extend the conversation, right?

Wow, Luke, I did not know you were such a poet. May I reprint that line? Brad Shorrs last blog post..Welcome Bill Welter, New Blogger

The path we pound from past to present passes through pleasant places and produces pain, but life and love and lessons learned along that lane light lives worth living.

Hi Fred, Yes, that brings back memories. I feel sorry for the Girl Scouts in our neighborhood. There are so many of them and they're all selling the same thing! The experience will probably mold some of them into superstar sales people. Brad Shorrs last blog post..Welcome Bill Welter, New Blogger

My first exposure to ‘pounding the pavement’ was as a Scout selling greens for the holidays. Even at a young age you learn to polish your pitch and how to up-sell. Picking the route and ‘first-mover’ strategies came into play. It was probably my first exposure to rejection. It even provided a first glimpse at who in the troop was going to have a great career in sales…
