Why the disclaimer, Pete?  You don't sound too sure yourself any more.

All that tells us is how little you do actually know then.  As nobody is
even competing with you, where are their pecuniary interests?

And why might that be, Pete?  The Brisbane office of the CAB has been
quoted Rod Holt's messages _verbatim_, and they are also of the opinion
that it's a typical pyramid marketing scheme (and therefore illegal), so
perhaps you'd better send them some hate-mail as well.  |-)

Firstly, nobody has specifically defamed either you or the company itself,
just the actual pyramid concept, and secondly, even if somebody had, you'd
have a pretty hard time proving it in this medium.  Almost impossible, in
fact.
