A recent discussion on an on-line discussion forum reminded me of when I was involved in mail-order in the early 1970s. My introduction to "income opp-ortunities" was when I answered an ad offering a plan for making $100 a day stuffing envelopes. The ad offered a plan for $1 and a self-addressed, stamped envelope. In exchange for my dollar and envelope I received an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet telling me to run the same ad and when I got responses, send them the same sheet. I kept searching for something better :-)
