I know this has been gone over before, but I found an interesting study that I thought might be relevant.

This line in particular.
To me that sounds like it would make any perceived challenges from subliminals seem more possible. But I don't know if the same mechanism would work inside the subconscious mind or if this is a conscious phenomena.
But Shannon, I know you've already determined that most people are more resistant to the "you" statements. I just thought that this study was pretty interesting.
Actually, you know looking at this again I'm probably wrong. I have a tendency to forget that the subconscious mind reacts very differently than the conscious. I was looking at this through the filter of the conscious mind so it seemed reasonable. But then I remembered the subconscious mind doesn't really think in that manner.
