Ha, ha, ha - I am super consultant! I managed to blow up the index, scoring a whopping 1.17 on one section of text I fed in. Bow down before me mere mortals. :^o

Maybe he used a text from the Dakiom tweakers that list on Audiogon.

I've been having trouble with the meter. I copied and pasted the text from this ad and it wouldn't get the word count right.

http://app.audiogon.com/listings/464524

It kept saying there were only 2234 words when in MS Word it stated there were 8100 words in the text.

If you want a good sample of BS check out the A'gon ad. 17 pages of it methinks.

sleepy, from the site,"It works with english text up to 15.000 characters (overhead will be cut off)."
You went over the maximum number characters.

I tested part of the text from the DakiOm ad and got a .27 BS index. My meter must be a little more sensitive than the website, because I read the ad as 100% BS with points off for insulting language. The thing reads like a scammers junk mail effort. A RANT! as marketing, yeeesh. :duh
I have give him credit for chutzpah, he was attempting to sell a pair of "modified" Sony SS-B3000 bookshelfs that retail on Amazon for $109 a pair with free shipping for a whopping $1,495.  :rofl:

Sorry, I can't share it; it's proprietary. It was a project scope section that I wrote not long ago in a BRD for my client.
