Thanks for that encouraging word... to somebody. |

Perhaps said leader might be named? While not publicly naming names on |
| 13 |
the negative side is arguably a good thing, isn't publicly crediting |
| 14 |
people by name for positives like this, when the opportunity arises, part |
| 15 |
of the solution, not the problem? |

(Unless there's a specific reason not to, in this case. A simple "Thanks |
| 18 |
to that unnamed person" statement would then indicate that the name was |
| 19 |
deliberately withheld, while keeping it positive. IMO, of course.) |
