Stringsinger, We can discuss MLM's on Saturday. They are not ALL scum but Amway certainly has a high percentage of them.

I am involved with one of them. The good ones fill an important niche. They take on good products and recruit a sales force for products which are good but are not breaking through into the larger market.

The one I am with is good but is losing focus by bringing too many unrelated products into their line. All I do with them now is pass the products to my friends at my price and use them myself.

The owner of the company has told me that, to maintain the MLM structure he has to invest less than 5% of the retail price of the product in product.
