Maybe it's a Pennsylvania thing. :)<BR/><BR/>Britt - Oh, I understand that. Makes total sense on the part of the company. It's just that I can't believe that there are enough folks out there willing to lose some of their guaranteed income for a portion of it now. Enough to have an entire company devoted to it. And the company is obviously making out on the deal, so why would people do it? Besides desperation. Ick.<BR/><BR/>RW - I absolutely get it, but...well, see what I said to Britt.

Duh.<BR/><BR/>The idea is to maintain that income and add to it, not dissipate it. This preys on people's impatience, gullibility, and instinct toward greed. It's a brilliant business plan, but incredibly cynical.RWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416316296228157208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-25628274915909908202008-11-10T09:21:00.000-05:002008-11-10T09:21:00.000-05:00But if you think about it, advertising is pretty m...But if you think about it, advertising is pretty much their ONLY overhead.<BR/><BR/>Well, that and the lump sum of money - which is basically an investment with guaranteed returns.
