[nabentre] mlm is really a great thing

Thu Jul 2 14:52:40 UTC 2009

Would everyone please stop attacking each other and your 
opinions.  No one is ever going to agree as to what is a scam, MLM, 
Pyramid or the like, so cut it out or people will be removed, and/or 
the list will be moderated -- that is each message will have to be improved.

People are looking for legitimate ways to make money, provide a 
service etc., so keep that in mind.  Otherwise let's keep our 
attacks, opinions of others and their motives and tactics to ourselves.
