I'd definitely welcome a Quote per Day. I'd really look forward to it. As it would be one quote I could really let it sink in. :)

Firstly, thank you Jon for sending me your document.

Secondly, thank you Gareth for sharing the quote about listening. It is spot on. Being a good listener is quite an art - one that I am working on!

Thanks Nina. Is that a quote from yourself? Welcome by the way!

I think we've got two quote topics going on at the moment. I might lock the other one. This is the quote I just posted there:
