Well, for 99% of all of the suckers who are duped into participating into an MLM pyramid scheme, the ROI is negative, too. But this does not keep foolish people from trying it. That's why Amway, Melaleuca, Herbalife, etc. do so well. We cannot rely on the intelligence of the spammer to motivate him or her to stop spamming, as the fact that he or she is doing it in the first place indicates a lack of judgment. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
