    If it's an anonymous source, "Keep it coming."

    It wasn't a source, but I got some nice feedback on a story I wrote a few weeks back. I replied with a, "Thank you for e-mailing me. It's always nice to hear when readers like our work."

    I save all of my positive e-mails for those days when we get nothing but negative in my inbox, to remind me of why I do this job in the first place.

    Wenders, I do the same thing... though I also have a folder with the negative ones and my replies so I can look back on how I handled them.

    That is what I say every time. Subtle and gracious.
