I can't tell you how many books I've bought simply because of the kinds of titles you mention here. They're very effective. (Gives me some ideas for posts, too.) Unfortunately, as one reader said above, a lot of online lists leave a lot to be desired. A truly good how-to list is as much of a challenge to write as a regular article. If you write one, try to run them by friends and colleagues before publishing it. Truly inspirational, Brian.
