4x4= 16 16x4=64 64x4=256 256x4=1024 1024x4=4096 4096x4=16,384 16,384x4=65,536As you can see, the numbers grow quickly with each succeeding generation. And of course, they grow much faster if each person is expected to mail to more than four people. (Remember the old riddle, "Would you rather have a million dollars now or have a dime now and have your money double every day for a year?"?)
You probably won't get any takers from this ng, as most of us have already been exposed--and some of us burned. :(
On the other hand, we have a number of SWAPS going on that we'd be glad to have you take part in! In a centralized swap, you're guaranteed to get your "investment" back. In some non-centralized swaps, the hostess will make good when a swap partner fails to reciprocate. All in all, a much better arrangement, don't you think? :)
