Default No insult intended ...

My article was NOT intended as an insult. It was, rather, an expose of the current trend in the MLM industry ... where the "making of money" has been perverted to a belief in the "Free Lunch" ... no selling, no products, just give us your money and we will do EVERYTHING for you so you make money for FREE (but, they don't).

As I stated in the article, I have nothing against MLM - however - I do find the current MLM opportunities to be highly distasteful; playing upon the greed and stupid of those who, often, can ill afford to participate.

Multi-Level Marketing ... when legitimately established for the distribution of products ... can be a viable (profitable to all participants) marketing method. But, the industry is NOW filled with petty con-men who's only purpose is to separate the gullible from their hard-earned money.

For proof, you only need read the headlines on the sales material being used to promote those MLM plans. -- Or, work the 'real' numbers on a matrix sometime as I have. And, please don't fault my math, I have an IQ in the 99th percentile ... member of Mensa ... and was a Math Major in college.

Legitimate MLM can be one of the most profitable methods of distribution in the marketing game - but - not the con-games masquerading as MLM.
