Replying to a message of Ross Sauer to Bob Ackley:

 RS> I had a relative who kept trying to recruit me into Amway.
 RS> Amway is run like a cult.

 RS> My relative got out of Amway, after losing almost a thousand $$$ in
 RS> those "motivational" tapes and stuff.

When I first arrived at Offutt in 1972, a captain in another office was an
Amway rep, and he'd recruited a couple of other fellows into the system
under him.  I bought a couple of things from one of the reps - I think one
of them is still around here someplace, a metal cleaner of some sort IIRC.
It was my opinion then (and now) that Amway is a thinly disguised pyramid
scheme; but I have to note that it has survived serveral lawsuits accusing
it of exactly that, so apparently under the law it isn't.

FWIW in more than 30 years I have not seen an Amway rep or any Amway
products.
