Lucio, thank you for making the fix on one of my previous posts. And, a big thank you for your kind note:

By the way man, you've done some incredible progress over time.
Try to see your first posts for fun one day, and see what a progress.
Well done to you, happy for you, and also happy for what it says about human abilities in general. It provides evidence to the fact that one can also reach higher and higher levels in what's one of the most difficult things to learn, and most often associated with "inborn" quality that one either has, or has not.
Mate, I have to say, you were the first. Back when Power University was still called "Social Power", I was rereading your sales page quite often because there was a line in it that motivated me hevaily. And, it was so inspiring for me that I saved it in a Google Doc (which is why I still have it today):
Lucio: "Not that much time has passed, after all. Four years. But it feels like a lifetime ago. A distant greyed out memory of a me that doesn’t exist anymore. Monstrous learning, countless adventures, more than a hundred notches and personal growth that transcended those notches as a measure of my worth, I am SO grateful for that abuse. As a matter of fact, I am most grateful for my searing losses, the most bitter rejections, and the hardest times of my life. They have been the best teachers. Since then, my life has been a continuous upward climb. Fueled by hard work and copious amounts of the best information I could find, it’s been an effective upward climb. And I have been fortunate enough to have had many bright moments."
What stuck out to me most was the "four years". I was always working hard to shorten the time it would take to reach the point in my life where I could overcome the abuse I was experiencing back then. And, your journey was so inspiring for me that I would schedule this message to be emailed to myself whenever I needed it—as a reminder of what's possible.
If my growth says anything about the human possibility, you were the first. It was your journey that shined a light for my path, Lucio, so thank you.

Matthew (@cheeweijie) and Lucio (@lucio),

Thank you for the exchange on the hospital's communication style and trojan horse value-giving in the WIIFT fail thread.

Your thoughts and ideas were both very valuable for me. I was only looking to drop a case study that might be helpful for others, so I was certainly not expecting such a powerfully enlightening exchange (e.g. Machiavellianism, "frame spreading", how to deliver constructive, potentially value-adding feedback without breaking rapport or "starting a fire", etc.).

Thank you for posting such an interesting case study! Always a pleasure to discuss and exchange ideas.

I have gained from your insights on the judge role, shaming and guilt-tripping.

With pleasure Lucio.
I think the broken links don't hurt the user experience too much.

The experience is just

Interesting link, let me click on it.
Damn, it's not working.
Oh well, let's find another article.

Not sure about SEO though.
Maybe broken links affect SEO.

Always happy to help, Lucio :).

And, Matthew, I've been meaning to say, I really admire your drive man. It feels like every time I come back to the forum you're contributing to a thread, starting a new one, or doing something else that involves more learning. It's pushing me to work harder on my own growth.

Even if you didn't directly intend to, thanks for pushing me forward man, sometimes I need it :).
