We've been trying to solve a puzzling problem with one of our website pages. It was one of those intermittent problems which are always hard to figure out. We finally came up with an explanation. Readers were using the page in a way that we simply hadn't expected. And, that caused a script to choke on the data provided.
The natural inclination is to ask why would people misuse the form. But, I really believe that's the wrong approach. They didn't misuse the form. They just looked at it differently than most people. And, that doesn't make them wrong. Just differernt.
Or perhaps a better description would be that they're creative. They have the ability to see things in a way that most of us don't or can't. And that's valuable.
The same thing happens here at The Dollar Stretcher. No one person or even a whole writing staff could think of every way to save time and money. That's where you come in. We're blessed with over 100,000 reading our newsletters each week and another 100,000+ visiting the website. That's a lot of people who can bring their creativity to any problem that we face. And we don't hesitate to ask for your input. You've seen it in the 'can you help this reader?' series, our Dollar Stretcher Community forums, and other places.
Thanks for being willing to share your wisdom, ideas and creativity. We're all much smarter because of you!
Keep on Stretching those Dollars!
Gary
