Subliminal Messages

Factual Questions
1

Ok, Hi everyone I am new to posting here but a long time reader;-)

So I have a question. I ran across this site that has software for making subliminal messages http://www.subliminalrecorder.com and I wanted to know your thoughts on this.

Does this type of advertising work?? can you control what one does? It fascinates me to think I can maybe get someone to do what I want by letting them listen to something I created.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone;-)

Welcome to the board.

It’s a good idea to try using the site search before posting questions. Cecil wrote on the subject a couple of times:

Those should answer your question.
