We haven’t said anything about comment protocol in a while, and we thought it was a good idea to mention our “discussion area” again. Most important: Tom reads all the comments. He often calls Erik or me to talk about the tenor of the responses his blog posts are getting. Keep that in mind when posting in our comments. We appreciate your participation, and we invite those who haven’t yet added to the discussion to please join in!
Some of you send emails to Tom, using tom (at) tompeters.com or info (at) tompeters.com in an attempt to get a response directly from him. Tom sees the emails, but I answer them, so that we can be sure that every message gets a reply. Though Tom occasionally answers the email, if you’d like a direct response from him, you are much more likely to get his input by commenting on a blog post (brilliantly!). And, as we’ve said before, please try to keep your exposition in our comments section short and to the point, remembering that we follow the “living room” rule—don’t behave in any way you would not behave towards guests in your home.
