Cathy, thank you for all the good work to make reading this blog such a pleasure: uploading the presentations, the TP Wire Service, keeping us informed and so many more things we probably have no idea of.
In order to make a star shine on stage, one needs those silent yet invaluable people behind the scenes without whom it would be impossible to make an impact on the audience. Your work is WOW in its own respect and you make many a reader happy with it.
Thank you and have a 2007 that is simply WOW!

Well said Chris - a very astute observation. Well done Cathy and team at TP.

1. Shall withhold praise until I'm radically impressed/enriched in '07

2. Impressive if the brilliant Brit Keeley Hazell becomes a regular as banner "lady de la Artiste TP" or some such designer deal

3. Perhaps '07 ban the one known as "Trevor" and his front-liner lovemarkism - 2007 TP must truly be "Trevor-Free" :>]

Sean – Come on you have go to be more serious in 2007.

Banning someone makes them notorious, interesting, windswept, sexy and famous – you know very well that I am far too traditional, predicable and rational - in other words Mr Boring 2007 so they won’t ban me :-)

Chris S,
Thank you for appreciating my behind-the-scenes position. It's my favorite place to be. I can't take credit for tpwireservice, however, that would be Shelley Dolley. And, now you mention it, I realize we don't acknowledge her often enough. So, here it is: We appreciate all you do, Shelley. Thanks, Chris, for reminding me.

I'm commenting here partly in hope that Cathy might read it... today I spent 2 hours searching the TP site trying to find a book Tom recommended a while back (Naked Conversations: How Blogs are Changing the Way Businesses Talk with Customers). I knew I remembered Tom commenting he had contributed the foreword, and I knew it was about blogging, so I searched under 'foreword', 'blogging' and various other keywords but to no avail.

I ended up running through every TP blog archive for the past 2 years. I had a blast! Some of the discussions have been so entertaining/moving/stimulating!!! Just one example - a debate on Tony Blair's legacy - 18 months later that might have had a very different tone (no pun intended).

In the end I googled 'foreword by Tom Peters' and guess what - found it within 3 minutes! Another lesson learned!

Conclusion #1: I recommend (as a downtime activity) dipping into some of the past posts on this site - often a new perspective gives extra significance to a comment or recommendation that may have been passed over previously; Conclusion #2: Cathy, would it be feasible to create a Recommended Books archive, as per the Cool Friends/Blog archives, so that we can find these recommendations later, when they might assume a heightened relevance?

Just a thought.

There is no need to radically impress me. I am a long-time fan. Best wishes to the TP Team in 2007 and viva Trevor Gay!

He should be on the TP Blogroll!
