		<description>Thanks, Threethan. You have a good start on your blog, as long as you continue to give credit where it is due and don&#039;t use too much of the original blog posting in your post.</description>

		<description>I was reviewing a few blogs, trying to get a list of good thought churners, or whatever you want to call the blogs that I&#039;d use for mention and topics on my blog about customer service, and I came across yours.

At any rate, I was planning on linking this post to explain bad customer service. It&#039;s a well thought out, and well stated post that is an excellent counterpoint to the one I have already mentioned today.

If you&#039;d prefer I didn&#039;t link to it (although, I&#039;m not sure of many people who aren&#039;t agreeable to free, however little, publicity) then toss me an e-mail and I&#039;ll remove it.

Not to worry, I don&#039;t plan to steal your thoughts.. I hope.</description>

		<description>Becky,

Thank you for the kind words, all to often we forget our customer&#039;s...and without them, we don&#039;t exist long. As you article points out so truthfully:

Having a Customers Rot! attitude means you view your customers as an inconvenience, and you treat them in such a way that they wonder whether you care about them.

I will be posting this article on my blog with Kudo&#039;s to your site of course.

All my best.

Garret
