   Yeah, he probably thinks he won't lose his account.

: $5.00!  So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam!" like most of
: us, but I was curious, so I kept reading.

   Just goes to show you should always trust your first impressions.

: send button.  Then, "SAVE AS."  DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU SAVE
: IT!  (So you donut have to type this 2 times.)

   Ooooooh.  Donut.

: Average is probably 20 to 30!  So let's put those figures at just 15
: responses per person.  Here is what you will make:
: at #5 - $15.00
: at #4 - $225.00
: at #3 - $3,375.00
: at #2 - $50,625.00
: at #1 - $759,375.00

   Now, let's do a little more math:
- our friend Chris is entering at the bottom
- if the person at the top of this list really makes the kind of money 
  promised, that means Chris is one of over 750 000 new people
  entering in just the bottom row alone
- the guy at the top of the list probably received this from someone else,
  who also included a list, who also had a top person, so he was once one
  of 750 000 new people, again ignoring the middle rows
- for the other 749 999 people who entered the pyramid with this lists's 
  top guy to get their money, they'd each need 750 000 "Chris"s (likely
  different people) to get involved 
- do a little math, and we get 750 000 x 750 000 = 562.5 billion
- therefore, for just the people who entered the system with this lists's
  top guy to make their money, we need a few more people on the planet
  (like about a hundred times more)

Conclusion: don't bother entering the pyramid at this level.  There's no
            one left on the planet to get involved and send you money.  If
            there is, then the system doesn't work as promised.
