Most of our Global management team is reading and responding to posts here on this forum. I am encouraging them to be active participants and to candidly dialog with you, our really valuable fans.

It is starting to work. Many are participating.

These are the people I trust to make all the critical decisions at Gibson world wide. We are listening and we all very much appreciate your participation and suggestions.

Hope we can continue to be relevant, entertaining and responsive to your needs.

Henry

I change my mind.

I concur Jason. This medium is a premium for us "Gibson Die Hard's"

[J Kimble (FLICKOFLASH)]

I suggest maybe a title should be included under their Avatars such as Global management team, Gibson staff ,ect or some sort of user group

My title should be "Total Hack that has a few nice Gibson guitars"

Flick has a good idea about the corporate folks having an official "badge". Reduces the chance of some troublemaker pretending to be an authoritative source and from the moderators having to deal with such as much...don't need someone speaking authoritatively when they have no place to do as such.

I have sent this around via email to key executives urging participation and suggesting full transparency by disclosing titles and positions.

Cheers --- Henry

Henry... A good deal, although I sometimes worry about switches in work load to more "social networking."

But then, that's your problem as their manager. They will get the type of player feedback I think you're looking for.

I think we're in an era where people like to be heard. Much of that is in some pretty unsocial rants I don't care for.

I believe this particular board where you have "members'" real names and info makes it more valuable and courteous because they have to have their name on what they write. That adds value.

Now if you could figure how I could be a bit more creative at solo arrangements of 30s-70s stuff... <chuckle>

I also like the idea of Gibson Execs having an identifier. Lets the rest of us know how they feel about topics. Already on one subject I felt some resistance that sounded like turf protection.
