     I just want to point out to Canadian readers that pyramid schemes such
as the one posted here recently are illegal.  I don't want to get into
an argument on the morality of these things, but I do want to point out
that BBS's and Usenet are fairly public arenas.  If I were you, I wouldn't
repost any pyramid schemes in such places unless you want to be busted.
You can get a criminal record if they can prove that you knowingly
participated in the propagation of a pyramid.
