I dug around my email box and I think this is the one: http://www.errant.me.uk/code/snip/10

It was long. And very odd.

I'm kinda used to that from Appsumo by now so it didn't really register for me. Truth be told, I just clicked through to see the offer straight away and ignored the rest as TL;DR. Reading it now.. the nicest description I can come up with is "rambling"

EDIT: Patio11 has a point about the formatting :) so: http://errant.me.uk/appsumo.html

Yikes. I suspect I'd be one of the people to consider unsubscribing after receiving an email like that.

Wow. Kind of reminds me of a cross between http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YBxeDN4tbk and http://www.timecube.com/

Looks like the more recent ones have a TL;DR section right upfront.
