bhatnasx; I should apologize if it seemed like I was accusing you in any way-- I'm definitely not. I hate when people use 20/20 hindsight to claim "I knew this would happen!" I didn't see it turning out this way at all-- no one did, I would say. I did post early-on that all multi-layer marketing schemes have one thing in common; the ones at the beginning make out and a very large number of people end up disappointed. That will, inevitably be the case here, but then again the ones who got in at the beginning deserve to get "theirs," IMHO. BTW, I 'aint no moderator nor do I have particularly good judgment-- so don't go by my lack of objection!

I do have a lot of concern about all the newly registered members. Most are teenagers and, actually, I hope they just say "no free ipod, no interest" and don't migrate to other areas of FT... I dunno', that's just my personal prejudice I guess. Reading their posts makes me very skeptical that any of them would ever contribute positively to FT.
