A list can be a very effective way of making a point and presenting valuable information. However it is important, for the following reasons, that a list contain at least four (4) items to be worthwhile and impressive:

(1) You, as author, look more knowledgeable;

(2) The list looks more substantial;

(3) Intentionally left blank;

(4) The list takes up more of the page.
