I have read your last few posts and I am frustrated that you seem to
be one of the very few who gets it. Sometimes I think many of the
people are here to bash MLMs, and that is fine. But those of us who
got taken, really got taken and some of us are not all bad.
If you get convinced, and then you do what they say, and you make
money, it is a different amount of time for every one to realize the
facts. When I finally figured it out, I was making good money, and
walked away from it. (yes I can prove I made money, and would send a
schedule C to PW by private email if needed, but it's not needed)
Bitter? I guess. Duped? probably. Sleazy? no. Rip off artist? no.
It worked like they said it would, and I believed. After I looked
back, I figured it out and left. Some of the posters on the site
don't get it, and are suggesting you might be stupid or sleazy
because you were in for so long. I am convinced you were/are neither.
BTW, for those who are not seasoned lurkers, PW's wife is a
physician. Most stupid people don't get into medical school.
Anyway, thanks for fighting the fight, and I for one respect you,
even though you drank the kool aid for a period of time.
