Geometric progression. The lower down on the list you start, the more you theoretically get back. In fact if you put yourself at the top of the list you only get back $1 for each person you send it to. Of course, the lower down you are the more chance of running out of stupid people before your name gets to the top but there doesn't seem to be much danger there. This is not the right newsgroup to discuss this. Follow-up to misc.consumers. -- D'Arcy J.M.
