Put Up or Shut Up? or.... Where the Feng Shui is the promised information?

This week I got my weekly 'newsletter' from Debbie DeSpirt "About.com - Feng Shui Guide". I haven't read her emails for months, but this one I opened... and saw it offered help in Choosing Colors for Rooms - and since I'm about to paint a few rooms in my house, it grabbed my attention. Now.. go with me here for a minute... I promise this post is NOT about Feng Shui. Moreover, it is about people offering something and not following thru.

Debbie had ONE paragraph, a paragraph that hooked you into "read more". So I clicked...leading me to yet another Paragraph on the About.com website. Inside THAT paragraph was ANOTHER link... to a totally different person's website... a Newsletter of Feng Shui tips... or so it says. Now this newsletter... was dated May 1, 2000 - I know that Feng Shui has been around for thousands of years.. but come on.. there MUST be more recent info to link to?? Or at least she could have found an article that actually offered help in what she titled her article... this newsletter referred mainly to the color of the Exterior of your house... Hmmm. Foiled again.

So I wrote to Debbie... told her I was disappointed... and she wrote back... telling me basically... she can't please everybody, but she pleases the Majority. I wonder how she knows if she pleases the Majority? Does she send out a POLL at the bottom of her email? NO. She invited me to UnSubscribe if I didn't like her "article". So I did.
