I really needed this matter for completing my project as well as for recommending the needy ones. It’s a great informative topic to be <a href="https://www.toshislivingroom.com/t/best-event-planner-nyc.php" rel="nofollow">best event planner nyc</a>.<br />jackmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780123996114896738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10748614.post-83771925539039306802009-10-08T11:13:22.703-04:002009-10-08T11:13:22.703-04:00@anonymous Yeah, that's me.

I've completely sold out to Microsoft, assorted other shills everywhere, and am the complicit force behind bank failures, too.<br /><br />Grips, dude.<br /><br />The community I'm a part of is all about rocking the boat, questioning assumptions, and improving ourselves and our craft. <br /><br />I take criticism well, as many folks I've worked with and around can attest to. What I don't put up with are anonymous attacks without any specifics.<br /><br />If you want to have an honest dialog, then use the contact link on my blog's sidebar. I'm always open to reasonable dialog.Jim Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869146736565695900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10748614.post-227951904847626072009-10-08T10:50:23.682-04:002009-10-08T10:50:23.682-04:00Please...You know how the 'community' work...Please...You know how the 'community' works. Rock the precious boat and you get sandbagged. Me posting @Anonymous doesn't make it not true. <br /><br />I guess lashing out at me saying I am bitter and a coward is your way of dealing with difficult situations. Attack those who criticize you?<br /><br />You know people pick their friends and inner circle all the time. Many times their buddies can't speak for crap. Why don't you have the guts to admit it???<br /><br />I never said I don't speak ALOT, I guess your ASSume a little too much. I'm just pointing out a bogus practice. Sad to hear you are condoning that type of practice, but then again you get that Microsoft MVP for playing ball right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10748614.post-60437575400154478712009-10-06T09:52:58.446-04:002009-10-06T09:52:58.446-04:00Hey, @Anonymous: It's hard to take you too ser...Hey, @Anonymous: It's hard to take you too seriously since you didn't have the guts to put your name on your post, but let me point out a critical point:<br /><br />"Hand-pick" doesn't mean focus only on your friends. It means pick folks you KNOW can deliver great results. Someone putting on an event targeted to specific goals can't afford to have weak speakers doing poor presentations.<br /><br />Maybe your bitterness comes from a lack of presentation or solid technical skills? If so, work on those and maybe you'll find yourself getting a nod for presenting more often.Jim Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869146736565695900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10748614.post-29786596839781012152009-10-06T09:19:50.124-04:002009-10-06T09:19:50.124-04:00Hand pick great speakers means pick your friends. ...Hand pick great speakers means pick your friends.
