Sam Gentile is back.  My recommendation: ignore the e-mail from nay-sayers.  In the long run, those that do the most are respected the most.

I get e-mail all the time from people telling me that something I am doing is wrong.  Amusingly enough, most contain unsolicited suggestions as to what I must do.  Those that seem sincere and come from people who appear capable, I try to encourage them to participate, which generally results in an answer that they are too busy. 

The rest, I simply treat as spam.
