That's exactly what I tell my students to demonstrate that subliminal message effectiveness is silly. If I "up the signal" by actually verbalizing or writing the message and it doesn't work, what would possibly be the theoretical justification for why a more obscure message would work. It's usually pretty effective in getting the point across.

Now, that being said... would people consider sending me money if I wrote it like this <SEND ME MONEY, PLEASE!>

Damn, you folks are just being uncooperative ;-)

Cheers,

But Steve, we can consciously perceive your written messages about sending you $$$$--but we still won't. Whatever, I thought it had been fairly well
established that subliminal messages are not effective means of
persuasion. Am I wrong here?
