"Eventhough" is not a word. It's "even though." How do I know? I once had a partner --very bright-- who insisted that "eventhough" was a word. I bet him $400 it wasn't. I think this guy (someone who hated being wrong) went through every dictionary known to man before he finally "confessed" he was wrong. Of course, he "confessed" by quietly never bringing up the topic again AND never offering to pay the debt which I wouldn't have accepted anyway. By the way, I'm sure my above grammar has much to be desired, and I enjoyed the article.

It's a WOW term. I mean, it's more appreaciable eventhough we might have complaints, unsatisfactory results & irritable mood because of it. Because if it is so, it would take a empathtic, helpful & jovial person to just say they will sort it out soon. It sometimes gets underappreciated, but with right people, it would build credibility. Jack, what would be your way of implementing it online, content, terms, replies? Any thing else? “The human side of coopration”…
