I think the general concensus is a strong to overwhelming "Don't do it!!" An interesting statistic I found in an '83 Wall Street Journal says that the average AMWAY distributor's income (from AMWAY, I would assume) is... $267/year!! I would say that they do not do anything illegal. They just hype and mislead the sh*t out of you! I've never summarized anything on Usenet before, and this response was rather large. If you want me to send you the file, let me know. Or I can post the entire file to Usenet. How does one handle such a situation? (Do not expect a response until Monday or Tuesday.) Thanks, again, for everyone's help. Lee
