I know because bugs sometimes killed the beauty marks and I'd hear about it in lots of different ways, depending on how open the leaders were with enjoying the attention.

I couldn't agree more with the premise and your examples were nicely diverse. Thanks so much. A few years ago at IBM I herded a community of highly-paid Unix weenies. My best ROI came from $15 T-shirts I personally snailmailed with a note. Many cemented $20,000+ of subsequent community expertise. Hi Brian, Just catching up to this gold via @russhatfield tweet.

It's a plus, if someone wants to give you swag as a thank you. It's always fun to receive a t-shirt, coffee or an Audi. :) Thanks Brian for the mention. :)
