I dont really know what you talking about here. This cant be the only way to think about this can it? It appears like you understand a great deal, so why not explore it a lot more? Make it a lot more accessible to everyone else who may not concur with you? Youd get a great deal more individuals behind this should you just stopped making general statements.

That's what so frustrating about so many blogs out there. They live the dream, but their business is telling you how to live the dream. It feels like some kind of pyramid scheme How many people do we need to tell us how to do exactly what they're doing?

Cath. I have to disagree…kind of. I believe guiding people to change might be more of an art, or a delicate procedure but the actual changing is very systematic. In fact it's completely systematic, rule driven and pragmatic…so I'd be careful to throw out the baby with the bath water here. Once you have engaged readers…they already trust you and want your content, they want a next step on changing, which can be delivered well with bullet points.

but of course that doesn't apply to comments which are written without much review…such as represented by the horrible grammar above. heh.

Interesting take JD. I think your commitment to the ideal is wonderful, but I think if you look deeper you are more concerned with quality content than you are bullet points. Most, probably %90 of people don't really review what they say...and so bullet point lists especially highlight that they are just bullet pointing crap.

It's a statistically fact most people reading on the internet because of the nature of the internet scan pages, they don't read thoroughly. The most nonsense you have on a page, the more they have to scan through...quality is the deciding factor, not a structure like bulletpoints. I think your post points out and your readers especially that they are fed up with reading the same junk over and over, and having wade through lists to get to any relevant info...lets all strive to write better!

Love the idealism that comes through in your writing. You lay it all out there, openly and honestly. Glad I'm not the only one that feels that way.

You know what's worse than a list post? List posts that tell you to write list posts

Good gracious! Someone finally said what I have been thinking for the last three months, AMEN. Coincidentally I started working on my first list post this week. However, it's going to be a list post with a twist.

Keep up the great work and the out-of-box approach, it's awesome.
