Default Here's a "close to home" example...

Erik:

I agree - BUT - there is still a line that should not be crossed. I call it the crude line. Crude remarks and hard swear words (The F word, the C word, for example) should generally be avoided at all costs in letters. Also, so should using borderline words just for the heck of it. (Then again, I don't want anything to do with markets where those words are welcomed in sales messages.)

Anyway. Here's what we have in the Frequently Asked Questions page of The Great Ideas Letter...

"If you are not willing to "risk" the measly cost of a one month subscription, then you are most likely not willing to "risk" larger sums of money on any business venture at all. And so you just might be better off not subscribing to The Great Ideas Letter."

For some reason this "attitude" upsets people - mainly the freebie seekers. So we have no real loss.
