"The question is, do you agree?" ... but you haven't given enough to agree or disagree with. Are you wondering whether I agree that users' relationships with some products have changed over time, or that psychology is relevant to technical writing? I do, but it's hardly worth a blog post for such generalities. It seems as if I need to take your course or hire you to discover any details of your vaunted "new approaches". Or are you just soliciting my business? If so, you'll want to copy edit your posts. ;) What an odd blog post! “The question is, do you agree?” … but you haven’t given enough to agree or disagree with.
