Surprise

If I'd have seen a newsletter subscription, I'd have used it. But I think some people might be annoyed that they had subscribed to a newsletter without realizing that's what they were doing. --------------------------------------- I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band.

Otherwise, sign up below for a free subscription to Willpower Is For Fat People. You'll get an email asking you to confirm you want to be on the mailing list. I just tweaked that text slightly. -- Drew

But the people who care really care. I'm already doing double-opt-in for the mailing list. It's saying at each point what's happening, and at each point I lose a percentage of people who started. It's a balancing act between pissing off people who just want it simple, and pissing off people who don't want to be tricked into signing up for something they don't want. -- Drew
