Yeah, what he said.



Think about it for a moment - how would you like people to respond to 
something that you worked hard to put together and asked for feedback on.

If you reject their plan and submit a new one, your input will likely 
get tossed.

If you make some good suggestions with supporting info, then some may 
actually get incorporated.  You may even be asked for more information.

The trick is in getting someone to see their own error and make their 
own change on their own - something I am not good at.  For some reason 
people take things better that way.
