Nice try, but consider yourself flamed.  This is not legal, this is not an
intelligent idea, and it most certainly is not a hack.  Ignore me, please!
Don't send me whining email telling me how wrong I am.  Quite frankly, I
imagine you will be hearing from the FBI on this one.  It is a Ponzi scheme,
aka a Pyramid scheme.  It doesn't work, as anyone who is smart enough to post
here can quickly find out.  You really should have posted this on alt.2600,
if you didn't already.  THEY might buy it.  We won't!
