Hold seminars, develop a video cassette and 24 audio cassette series, create a web page, and broadcast a late-night television infomercial on how to hold seminars, develop a video cassette and 24 audio cassette series, create a web page, and broadcast a late-night television infomercial. It’s the ultimate
get-rich-quick scheme. The best thing is, the only people you rip off are those who so truly deserve it. Of course, it's also self-limiting, since you are creating your own competition.

Ho hum. Baked. And no one *deserves* to be ripped off, even the very, very stupid. Even those who watch infomercials.

P.S. I demand that you *immediately* change your account name to avoid confusion. Actually, no I don't. No apologies necessary. I'm not blissmiss. (You will have to answer to DrBob separately, but he never complained about me so I think you're on safe ground.) |
