More to the point, neither Glyphius nor JB's character are topics of this blog, however well it may rank on Google for these terms by now. So - no more comments on the subject, please.

I tried some headlines on it, but became suspicious of the results. To put my suspicions to the test, I entered random keystrokes into the text field. Below are the actual keystokes and resulting scores: PAOHAFOI9a8h9aes1h9srj9sr849r8 -- SCORE: 132 10OIHGPOAINPOIRWEH10[09IUO[IKN'O[ASd -- SCORE: 233 0ESTHAWERTH10EAHAETRHE10OIHGPOAINPOIRWEH10[09IUO[IKN'O[ASd1HTB25 25OWIGVHVA[OPWI 10 -- SCORE: 285 Those of you who have this product, try it out if you don't believe me. Brausch is condescending, arrogant, ignores his customers, and Glyphius is worthless. Were he a better person and a decent businessman with a modicum of courtesy, his talents could bring him astonishing wealth. As it is, he will only earn a fraction of what he could, because he is such an A.H. With his “Statistical Copywriting” course Brausch has included Glyphius 1.0.

Oh well... His products are great. I'm just finding out that when he turned off the comments to his blog it did have a direct effect on my business activity. I still have positive thougts about him. He's definately cut from a different mould. S. I’m most likley a ‘time vampire’ in his mind. Oh well… His products are great.

It seems his poor notification, lack of visible support/status options, repeated non response to the email address provided in the receipt, and his link here is what brought people here. I first saw your post while searching for others that actually received their Glyphius 2007 package. Even though I'm not as far away as you I still have not received mine. “Wow, how did the James Brausch fan club find its way here? ;) Let’s take this to email, though, as it’s a tad off-topic for an I Ching blog.”

I, too, ordered his Glyphius package (special discounted offer) and patiently waited 18 days for delivery. Since I never received UPS tracking numbers and no response to the multiple emails I sent, kindly asking what the status was, I had to open a case with PayPal. Yea, they informed PayPal that the UPS tracking numbers indicated it was on the way. Real nice support… I never did get a personal response from ANYBODY from them! I do dread having to buy his stuff, yet he does come out with some winners often. It's just too bad he's a cad! Fred, I do agree with you about the lack of service and his arrogance!

No problems as is. So if YOU have a problem, YOU are an idiot, and he doesn't deal with idiots. So just take a refund and "go away".

And he is actually proud of that. If you ask questions or make comments or suggestions, you get "fired" as a customer. So I only order stuff when on one of his 24-hour reduced price specials (if at all) and hope no problems. Brausch’s customer service sucks. And he is actually proud of that.
