I thought he stopped blogging. Why does he pick his craziest email rants to publish online? Just to tilt the rest of us?


I was going to mention the same thing.. what's the point of his private list if he publishes most of them anyway?


Marketing? Private list to create appearance of exclusivity.

"Republishing: PLEASE DO NOT REPRINT WITHOUT PERMISSION

Forwarding: PLEASE DO FORWARD TO SMART PEOPLE"


I think a few of the recent ones were getting posted online elsewhere, so he just started putting them on his own site - cannot remember where I read or heard that though!
