You’ll have to imagine how passionate I was about today’s feature since I am actually took the extra time to find an embedded link to e-mail you.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;E-mail surveys have quickly gone the route of VHS video tape … outlived their relatively short-lived utility.  In our hyper productive U.S.A. … where every one of us “working wounded” is dealing with 10 pounds of #/*%&amp;amp;@% in a 5 pound bag, who really has the time to respond to survey requests … even if it comes with a Twixt bar (my personal favorite).  We, as working Americans, are routinely bombarded by electronic survey requests promising us everything from gift cards to chances to win the free pony.  They hit our deleted box in record time.  Why?  Because we are “all” caught up in the productive craze demanding that we “all” do more with less … a.k.a. “ work smarter, not harder!”  Less time spend thinking and reflecting … more time reacting … A sorry state of affairs in my opinion.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Did I actually spend 7 minutes thinking about and typing out this e-mail response ???&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Don’t worry Mark … I love the Sparkspace features and will continue to invest the &amp;lt; 5 minutes required to enjoy and learn from them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dave Lovetro&lt;br /&gt;EKA Chemicals</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/145964116031151435/6436219691319788881/comments/default/245573668296477190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/145964116031151435/6436219691319788881/comments/default/245573668296477190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.sparknewthinking.com/2010/02/we-really-want-your-opinionas-long-as.html?showComment=1266418250558#c245573668296477190' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.sparknewthinking.com/2010/02/we-really-want-your-opinionas-long-as.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145964116031151435.post-6436219691319788881' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/145964116031151435/posts/default/6436219691319788881' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
