I usually follow my gut instinct when it comes to editorial content. I initially thought maybe etiquette material would be a turn-off or too stuffy for readers, but it turns out those postings are always very well received and widely read on our Web site. I think people are curious about and looking for professional and social etiquette in a world that increasingly has fewer expectations of people. I received this very nice reply to our latest post about table manners. Thanks for reading. - Dennis Kempton, Editor "Dennis, What a wonderful piece you have written! I design and teach Etiquette classes and workshops for young people. I am passionate about what I do because I believe that having strong social skills sets you apart in life, both socially and professionally. Being confident in social situations and knowing how to put others at ease are valuable life skills. I hear from business professionals that their junior co-workers do not know how to host a client for a business lunch showing a lack of basic table manners and how to engage in conversation. Unfortunately, in the daily hustle and bustle good manners are not being taught in many homes or schools. The good news is that young people are eager to learn when etiquette education is provided. I am so happy I found your publication. Keep up the good work!" -Dawn
