I didn't open this thread yesterday, because I though it was just some kind of joke, and that's because of the vague and ambiguous subject line.

So, what do you figure, guys? How many more times will I have to say this before it sinks in? Five thousand times?

Clear subject lines. Clear and unambiguous subject lines. Tell members what your thread is about BEFORE they open it. BEFORE they open it.

Clarity over cleverness, please. First and foremost, be clear. If you can be clever while first being clear, more power to you, but first and foremost, be CLEAR.

An outlook I subscribe to.

I word it somewhat differently, but the point is the same:

"Pessimism is the only logical approach. If things turn to shit, it's no more than you expected. If things go well, it's a pleasant surprise."

You can’t put logic to crazy.

Underpromise & overdeliver...

The customer may not always be right. But the customer is ALWAYS the customer.

A satisfied customer tells a friend. A dissatisfied customer tells TEN friends.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

All else being equal, the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.
