How to Structure the Bad News Message

Answer the tough questions up front. The best way to structure a bad news message is to answer the tough questions up front.

There has been a tremendous hype about feminization hypnosis. This is the idea that a man can hypnotize himself, and Wow! he becomes a woman. Before looking at this idea, it may be worth having a look at what feminization is in the first place.

Symantec has just produced a report on spam messages, what they promote and how they attempt to bypass filters designed to stop spam. The report doesn’t really contain any major surprises to me, although it does confirm what I have been seeing in my own studies.
