Thought provoking article. I like to think I acknowledge the people I call for services, at least to the extent they want the conversation. I'm sure there are many more in daily life I don't notice but whose work makes my world go around.

Getting that balance is tricky. Becoming known as a good customer can help in some cases both for later work and referrals to other specialists.
