Excellent point, how many times have we not wanted to undo the sending of e-mail, blog posts, tweets etcetera? But especially e-mail is dangerous, I have found myself in situations where I started typing an e-mail after receiving one that infuriated me, only to not hit send after thinking for just one second. I picked up the phone instead, or cooled down and sent a completely different e-mail 10 minutes later.

Very good advice.

Now, should I hit Submit Comment, or should I pause first?

Since when was I disrespecting people? I replied to a statement you made about me…which was rather disrespectful in and of itself. This is a great example of what this post is talking about because I was neither intending nor viewing my comments as “arrogant” but that’s how you’re interpreting it.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for Jim Connolly. He’s given me some awesome advice in the past and his information is top notch. I don’t comment here to “tout for work.” I comment because I enjoy the blog

@Jim
I was not meaning to “throw their comment back at them.” I guess I could kind of see how that would look…I was just trying to confirm what they had said…

To an effect – we do that in school. “Your project is awesome!” “I know, right?” Very few people actually say ‘thank you’ and I’ve never been very good at taking compliments…personal flaws for the win.

Teriffic post as always. If people thought a bit harder before sending info out over the interwebs, there’d be a lot less dross out there.

This blogs getting better and better Jimbo.

Whilst Corey is ‘a little’ abrupt, she is also a teenager – and a teenager who is dedicated to doing something positive.

I don’t see Corey’s comments as link bait, which is what I think you were suggesting? I have tweeted with Corey for (correct me here Corey) about a year; maybe longer and she’s one of the most honest, decent people you could have the pleasure to connect with.

I appreciate your concern Alan, but in this case I think it’s misplaced.

You were not being cocky at all you were being arrogant. look at the comments you leave, disrespecting people and telling people you know better than them.
If your writing here’s anything to go by you want to learn your game before you start telling pros what to do.

@jim: Why let her use your blog to tout for work and disrespect you?!?
