Fan Mail — and some from Not-so-Fans

I'm on a million listservs, write tons of magazine articles (though that's tapered off the past couple years), speak at numerous events, and oh yes, there's all those clients from the 15 years I've been in business. My contact info is front and center at all times.

So I get a lot — A LOT — of feedback, much of it from people I've never met. Most are follow-up questions from DesignGeek issues; some are requests for referrals, a few are inquiries from prospective clients. But occasionally someone will come through with a brief "thanks" for something I wrote or said or did, out of the blue. Here are some of my favorites, including a couple of the rants I received, which I also love to get (striking a nerve shows they're listening...).

Use the links at the left to meander through the collection.

Note: Selected fan mail for my DesignGeek newsletter appears in the left column of the main DesignGeek page.
