Great read! Though in my opinion, it's pretty redundant. I already knew almost everything there, at least in a sub-conscious kind of way, but it's nice to put words/reasons to the things I already do. :)

•The value of what you've spent so far on a service, product, or relationship -- in effort or money -- is probably far less than you think. Be willing to walk away.

I love that one.

How'd I know this was an iago thread when I read the title? :)

Ah, I get it.

I call that a flaw in your algorithm, though. A type 2 error: you classified a title as something I made up that I didn't. It was only good fortune that made you correct, in this case :P
