RS> Pete, this, I repeat, is an absolutely classic
RS> pyramid marketing scheme.  And is so illegal.

PN> Rod, you are wrong! Further discussion on this aspect is pointless.

Funny you keep discussing it then Pete. And I notice studiously
ignoring providing a plausible reason for the secrecy stuff too.
Make us wonder whether you really even do think its legal yourself,
or are just claiming it is when you know damned well its not.

Its also interesting that you only use a post office box
address. Handy if the cops want to come and visit I guess.

RS> Pyramid system work very well for those who get in
RS> early, and comprehensively shafts those who dont.

PN> ALL people win!

Nope, the characteristic of pyramid schemes is that the early adopters
do very well out of it, the later people get shafted comprehensively.
Thats why they were made illegal Pete. Coz that mathematical effect
is not something that everyone notices until they have been shafted.

PN> The losers are the providers like Telecom/Optus, etc who have agreed
PN> to discount their services for First Netcom and their customers!

Nope, they dont even lose themselves. The way the benefit
is more complicated, but its a combination of increased
use and minimising the cost of servicing those accounts.

Discount systems which DONT use pyramid marketing schemes are quite
viable. Corse the early adopters dont get the chance to shaft others too.

RS> Buy the act, read the bit about pyramid marketing schemes Pete.

PN> I know. However THIS is irrelevant for a LEGAL MLM!

Nope. Using that pathetic line of argument nothing would be
illegal, just change the name, makes it legal. 'it wasnt
murder ossifer, it was just letting all his blood leak out'

Wont wash Pete.
