I clicked through because at the time (will change depending on when someone reads my comment) it had 104 points, 55 comments and was the top link. But I guess more importantly (and this is a lesson) the title was ambiguous enough to not let me know that I wouldn't be interested in it. So for example if it said "Ruby" I would have been less likely to click because that's not of any interest to me. So my curiosity was piqued by the title. That and definitely the karma made me take a look. And the fact that I couldn't rule out interest. This also ties into the concept of "don't oversell". One of the things I learned as a kid was to stop selling once you have made a sale. Because if you said more after making the sale (and in some cases before) you could lose the sale. Salesman: "and the warranty on the refrigerator is fairly price as well" Buyer: "oh wait I need a warranty hadn't thought of that, cancel the order then".
