Multi-Level Marketing!

I think in Jim's defence he was referring to unbelievable claims of profits which are made in *SOME* MLM promotions, and the fact that you can calculate that many of these claims can't be true.... So in this context perhaps mentioning his mathematical abilities (and the fact he was a Math major) could be relevant....

I agree, Lee Iacocca never even went to high school yet he was a great success....

However, I don't think Jim was implying that, since he was specifically referring to his calculating abilities in the context of unbelievable profit claims from *some* MLM ads.... In that context I thought they were relavant....

Cross-posted articles.... I personally have no problem with them, as long as they are offering something of value.... And Jim Straw's posts certainly do that. Some of his articles are fantastic, I personally hope that he continues to post them....

Like I've said before, it's okay to agree to disagree.... Nobody should take it personally, and it's possible that my view could be totally "wrong"....

Cheers,
