Yes, you seriously have a PM from me So you're not off the hook YET lol

And yeah I just tossed that phrase in there, I was reading something just before I started writing and it kinda popped into the sentence.

I don't think that you should ignore people in an open discussion especially if you're asking them for feedback/input about XYZ product and then blatantly talk to your buddy from "wherever" with total disregard for the other person providing you with feedback/input. It is extremely intimidating esp for newbs to even muster up the courage to speak to some of our "top dogs", so they have to understand that aspect as well. I've never really had that issue myself (being intimidated nor do I get shock and awe struck) but it is something I see a lot of with newbs (even worse intimidation when the "guru's" tell you they do that right on their blog).

And I was always saying to myself, "what the worst they can do or say?" Ignore you or say no, but if either is the response then they go on my "not to promote" list.

I had that happen to me a long time ago, someone outright ignored me and not long after the ERG came out, they were banging at my door to do a JV, ummm nope sorry, you can talk to me now after I have a best selling ebook out? But I wasn't good for you talk to before that? Makes no sense.
