It's a moot point anyway. The Achilles' heel of Amway is that magic word
``exponential.'' To give you some idea of how well network marketing in general
works, OmegaTrends, at the point where they had 100,000 registered distributors,
had *8* distributors earning more than $50,000 a year, two of whom were the
founders. Put another way, the odds of earning as much as a mediocre accountant
were at least 12,500:1 against. In this setting, the odd angry cookie is a
fairly trivial consideration.
