"Hook-talk", the practice of trying to hook the reader or listener with a teaser to get them to "click thru" may have been started by Pavlov, extended by Neuro Linguistic Programmer pick-up coaches and monetized by Google Ads, but as a mental platform, it has been assumed by Assholes everywhere. Strategy for inner peace is the zen practice of avoiding all "click thru" speak. Learn to recognize your inner puppy dog being titilated by the smell of bacon, and put him to sleep with this special dog-lullaby of the zen practice of avoiding even mental click thrus. Just let it pass. Notice the behavior, and marvel at the swirling intricacies of intellectual commerce, but remain unaffected and chant to yourself the sacred mantra, "dotcommmmmmm".-- JesusHChrist, Jan 24 2014 Hey, don't leave us hanging!
