A lot of people in blogs and forums lather and repeat all the time but forget to rinse. What does that get you? Dirty soap. Like “Lather, Rinse, Repeat.”

But criticizing constructively so that an individual, company, etc. can improve and do better the next time is important. You were clearly trying to do the latter, and the response from the Edwards campaign shows that your criticism was well received and will help the team to make some positive changes. "At least they tried" is sometimes fine at the outset, but just trying and trying and trying without making improvements isn't likely to amount to much in the end. Try. Listen. Learn. Improve. Repeat cycle. Get results. C.C.:

I've been beating up on one company's failed podcast solution for months, but at least they tried. So, instead of poking fun, I now use it to illustrate why everyone souldn't be podcasting. I guess that's no better, but at least I no longer mention the company name ;) I know how you feel. I’ve been beating up on one company’s failed podcast solution for months, but at least they tried.
