Thanks for telling me, David. I removed the hotlinking code some time ago after it was blocking images from certain RSS readers I didn’t know existed. The last thing I want happening is for images not to show for my subscribers.

Hey I just successfully hotlinked the image from this post. I was trying to use your site as an example of what can happen when you steal images and bandwidth, but it did not work. I know that for a while you had that “I <3 David Airey.com" image up there. Just wanted to let you know.

Atul,

It gets harder and harder to reply to every comment I receive, which is a shame, but I hope that people understand the time constraints. Thanks for visiting.

David to be honest with you I am blog hopping at the present time. I am sampling blogs related to advertisement.
What I find honest and good about your blog is that you take the trouble to read each comment. This may not be possible once the numbers become large.
Kathy’s comment that honesty is required because of the Web seems off.
As for another comment that brands need to be honest, what that is basically saying is don’t oversell.
Rahael’s initial comment appeared to be a very level headed comment and your rely to it.

I think you’re spot on, Amanda.

Honestly.

I love this blog, it’s a subject very close to my heart.

I think honesty isn’t prized highly enough. A person who means to live to their life ‘honestly’ must learn the vital skills of ‘tact’, ‘timing’ and more to ensure that their honesty is as painless as possible.

I feel that the world would be far better place with more honesty. To be honest … :)

Jennifer,

Stefan’s very good at giving presentations, I agree with you there.

Lee,

“Honest and tactful”. Definitely. I hope the new position’s working out brilliantly for you.

People should be honest and tactful.

Brands should also be honest. If brands were more transparent rather than hiding behind a veneer of marketing they would reap rewards long term. You can’t pretend to be something you are not, you will always get found out eventually.

I just put up a Stefan Sagmeister video from TED on my blog today. Honestly didn’t see this one on your blog before now. Great minds and all that!

I think the guy is a genius and is able to talk about design in such simple terms, I really admire him.
