		<description>Have you tried the &quot;Exclude Pages from Navigation&quot; plugin by Simon Wheatley? I know its excludes pages, without having to change code, but not sure abut categories.</description>

		<description>Well, Zero sum rule doesnt apply everywhere atleast when its related to Business. If your strategy and planning is good, then Business can be a win win situation for all parties involved instead of Zero sum .</description>

		<description>Hey Beau,

Great post, I totally agree with your thoughts. For me, the exciting parts of my past businesses are a) strategy (i.e. determining what course of action to take in order to reach a goal) and b) the chase (trying to land accounts, clients, money)... It&#039;s what leads to success...if more people got excited about those two parts of business, I think they would find higher sales, better prospects and great relationships built in the process.</description>

		<description>The snark in me asks whether I would even want to do business with anyone that likes smooth jazz. But, alas, yes I would. I agree with you that businesses must be more three-dimensional in order to appeal to a consumer&#039;s Web 2.0 sensibilities, and I&#039;m ecstatic about this. Doesn&#039;t it also just feel good to be yourself at the end of the day? Whether it&#039;s winning me business or not, at least I can live with myself.

@Naomi- You&#039;re more than welcome to leave a long comment on my blog, and you don&#039;t even have to apologize! :-)</description>

		<description>Thanks for the good-hearted laugh! It is funny to hear hold &amp; elevator music and think &quot;Who actually likes this stuff?&quot; I especially like Dean&#039;s comment above about Option 4 for Rap with obscene lyrics. LOL I like my &quot;tribe&quot; although I need to get them to engage more..I&#039;ve had a few people say they didn&#039;t like a certain feature on my blog but I politely told them, &quot;I&#039;m sorry but I&#039;m sticking to it!&quot; Then a few minutes later, someone raved about that same exact feature. I can&#039;t please everyone, right? Sorry for the long comment. :)</description>

		<description>Well said Beau.  I sometimes wonder why silence isn&#039;t an option.  I am usually doing something else anyhow while waiting and I would rather do that in silence as opposed to listening to gross supermarket music.  

My other thought was why companies don&#039;t have a menu of music to choose from to cater to the variety of tastes of your caller.

*Press 1 for rock
*2 for country
*3 for Kenny G (we could fool them on this one and just pipe in silence)
*4 for rap with obscene lyrics
etc.

Would certainly make me listen to the menu options and it would most definitely have me checking to see what type of music they have for each selection</description>
