I just wanted to say I thought your post of Gary Halbert's hot 20 clicks on his letter site was a fantastic testimonial for Gary. I've blogged about it and put it on Digg too. Thanks again John Jim Hi John,

I’ve already left a comment under your annoucement of Gary Halbert’s death.

I just wanted to say I thought your post of Gary Halbert’s hot 20 clicks on his letter site was a fantastic testimonial for Gary.

I’ve blogged about it and put it on Digg too.

Thanks again John

Jim

As is playing live music such as Jazz. I like the idea of getting the mind moving into overdrive to get the ideas flowing, and improv is the best way, IMHO, to do it. Great insight into writing copy that I neve put together myself, but makes so much sense. Another one knocked out of the park. It's a long fly ball... it's going, going... it is gone! Andrew Why does it take so much energy to get some people to see the genius of improv? Is it a world view thing? Yeah, seems simple. Hey John,

Why does it take so much energy to get some people to see the genius of improv? Is it a world view thing? Yeah, seems simple.
