Thanks for that encouraging word... to somebody.
Perhaps said leader might be named? While not publicly naming names on=20
the negative side is arguably a good thing, isn't publicly crediting=20
people by name for positives like this, when the opportunity arises, part=
=20
of the solution, not the problem?
(Unless there's a specific reason not to, in this case. A simple "Thanks=
=20
to that unnamed person" statement would then indicate that the name was=20
deliberately withheld, while keeping it positive. IMO, of course.)
--=20
