They did an experiment once, trying to find the maximu number of words that people would read on a Museum label. It turned out to be less that 75. They tested this by saying in the text, after 75 words, "If you've read this far, please stop in the office for a free gift." The gifts went a'molderin'.
When I scroll down a long "cut and paste," I rarely even bother to read it. Maybe we should though, Bobert.. maybe they all say at the end of the seemingly endless text, "If you've read this far, please PM me for a free gift."
It would have to at least be a new Taylor guitar for me to do it, or it wouldn't be worth the energy.
If I want to read a book or a newspaper, I wouldn't be here in the Cat..
