		<description>Hey Ken,
Long time no see =D
I never realised how important it was to write meanigfull comments, i mean i knew you had too otherwise there is no point in writing them but I never realised how much people pick up on it. I dont know if I am right but I think what people tend to do is write a bit about the post but then go on a bit about themselves and their post, self-consiousley advertising their post. I think they do this because they think to write a good comment it has to be long (and i know this is really ironic because this is what I do!) but beacsue they think it has to be long when they run out of things to say about the post so they start talking about theirs, if you catc my drift! The reason I know this is because this is what I do, and I never realised how much I did it untill now, so thank you for writting it =D. Knowing me im probably doing it now! I was wondering if any of you could tell me when I'm doing it if you see my comments like that and if you knew how I could stop doing it.

Thanx

		<description>Hey guys Im back!
After like 2 months I've finally written something :O
Shock Horror!
Look how much Ive missed! The Gazz-mans written and published 2 e-Books! Probably even more, ive just missed them! And probably so have loads of other people!

Please come vist me again, just dont lecture me on how I should be on more often. I know I should I've just been lazy! But I have the whole Holidays to get back on my feet! But I need you guys to help, could you when you pop over ask me any questions you would like to know (like the sort of stuff i've written, e.g making/saving money encoregment and that shizzle) because then I will be really doing what I said im doing which is answering other peoples questions :D.

Thanks

		<description>Hi Ken,

I have been meaning to get over here for a few days - been flat out like a lizard drinking.

There is no doubt that making thoughtful or (even) provoking statements on other people's blogs will get them to come to yours.

Ha! Now YOU are quoting yourself! Fun, isn't it? I never realised how bloody often I did it until Linda Caroll mentioned it. Now, I'm rather conscious of it but...

... I STILL do it!

Glad you enjoyed Linda's session on the "Holy Grail." We did it all again last night with me and Parkesy and  half a dozen others on the call.

Ken, I used to get crapped off with the flood of email offers from every Tom, Dick and Harriett too. I don't care too much any more. I just slam them all into a folder to look at when &lt;b&gt;I&lt;/b&gt; feel like it - which ain't too often. I just open the ones I want to. 

Just on that score - I have ONE guy who is particularly annoying. He emails me EVERY day without fail and sometimes 2 or 3 times. Oddly, he is supposedly one of the most successful IM's on the net. Figure that out! I just find him endlessly irritating. "Ooh, just picked my nose... gotta tell my list!" PMSL. But that is what he is like.

Catch you later,
