Whom do you think did I intend to malign the most out of the original post? Even as a humorous list, How to Meet and Woo a Nerdy Girl has more value than that “they’re creative and innovative because I so enumerate them in this blog post” link that I shared in my comment above.

The author has presented his list, but what has he said about them? Nothing. It’s as if by the very virtue of his enumeration, he proves their uniqueness and creativity, to which I say, that it is logically fallacious to do so. The post above is merely one example.

The list format with which I have written this post is an expression of the wry irony I took. I hope that has not been lost among those who have stumbled here.

2. Listing is perhaps an art. One must make each item self-standing and on point, lest the reader misinterpret your intentions. But, if it is on point, then it is a point, and (1) applies.

3. A grocery list or a to-do list can be quite cryptic, yet be very useful to the lister, but totally useless to everyone else. Posts of similar construction have the same utility–to the poster, not the general reader.

4. This list makes points, so (1) applies.
