How to Alienate Your Readers in 12 Easy Steps

Have an annoying group of pesky readers you'd like to get rid of? Your answer is just a click away!

Yes, I wrote it. I normally don't like to toot my own horn, and perhaps the post itself will alienate readers, but hopefully, this will help anyone looking to avoid losing readership.

Absolutely brilliant! When I wasn't laughing, I found myself "agreeing."
Old enough to know better, but that's never stopped me before.

This was great fun (I needed the laugh) and true at the same time! Thanks.

This sounds great. I'd really like to read it but it looks like it's no longer available where it was originally posted. Is it available anywhere else?
