[Their reaction to it was one of elation, exoneration and confirmation. High fives and a forty dollar steak time.
To be fair, it was only a $17 dry-aged ribeye, and it was absolutely delicious.
Seriously folks, this is not a war. We are thrilled that we are doing well and were excited to see some proof of our success other than our own sales numbers. Accuracy and "big claims" aside, this particular data point is an indicator and we are treating it as such. A little celebration at a job well done, and back to work on the next book.
No need to get into huge arguments about it. This industry is just too small for infighting and backbiting. Play the game you want to play. We are doing great and that is more than good enough for me.
Thanks for all the accolades. I need to get back to work.
