And I'll tell you why it works in a moment.
But before I do, I also recall GT saying that when he knew Lyon as a player, he did not believe he had a strong enough personality to become a coach... or words to that extent. Apart from being wrong, he must have an ego the size of Grand Canyon for actually believing that he can tell who can coach or not. It's little wonder, therefore, that he ever stepped aside, given that according to him, he didn't think anyone was better suited than himself.
But I do digress...
Reincarnated praises Milton66 due to the creation of a thread that is reaching Reincarnated-like heights of posting...
And you forget to add "stupidity" at the end.
So what was I talking about at the top of this post?
Oh yeah, I was going to tell you "more about this later"...
What was I referring to? Trick comment.
Once again, I cannot recall the guy's name, but a Russian psychologist defined this as great way to keep people reading your material. Why? Because humans need closure... or they "need to know".
So if you use a phrase like "I'm about to explain why GT is a cabbage. But before I do that, I'd just like to mention...".
So what I've done is open a loop, or left you with an unfinushed explanation.
Therefore, if there is a message I want you to absorb, I put it after the opening.
And because the GT worshippers will be dying to know why I think GT is a cabbage, they are lore likely to read the entire post, in order to have closure on my openng statement.
Make sense? Probably not.
Anyway, that's today's sales copy lesson for ya...
