From: The Rink <sam@rinkworks.com> Subject: Re: visitor angry Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2008 10:16:52 -0400 Our whole "How To Be Persuasive" article (along with its companions, "How To Be Funny" and "How To Be Romantic") is a work of humor. The whole *point* is that none of the advice given in them is any good at all. Not even the first few points, although you are correct that the advice gets more and more outrageous as the article progresses. That's the principle of comic escalation at work. -- Sam. P.S.: What's an inernet phycologsts? If you mean internet psychologist, how does that work? Do your patients have to lie on their own sofas, or do you have a virtual sofa in a chat room somewhere?

While the word "dumbfounded" is not entirely inappropriate here, I still wonder if he knows what it means. |
