As follow up to my recent "Taking Credit" blog, where I declared I no longer need to take credit for what has blossomed from a suggestion or idea, I need to add that, nonetheless, an important ingredient of social intercourse is feedback.  

Feedback is follow-up/response to one's suggestion or idea.  

By responding one acknowledges receipt and informs as to the status of the subject.  

This allows for discussion towards furthering the suggestion or idea.  

As Shelley says, the magic is in the follow-up!
