BAGAKOAA 27 October 2010 I Need Your Help

I’ve been under the weather a bit lately so you and I get a break from the blog. In my melancholy albuterol induced stupor, I became a bit retrospective and analyzed the Salve Lucrum Blog over the last year.

I know why I write it, but in many cases I don’t know what if anything you the reader might be taking away. In an effort to continuously improve (Dr. Deming would be so proud of me.) this blog, I need your help with a quick survey. Please cut and paste the following survey and send it back to me at brian.cronin@padi.com:

Here are few topics usually covered in our postings. Using a numerical rating of 1 to 5 with 5 being the most helpful, meaningful, or entertaining and 1 being the least, send me your opinions. At the end feel free to send any comments that might make this more useful for you:
