Despite that BS about being a "service," this is a Ponzi scam or
"pyramid," and is blatantly illegal. A little math shows that there
is no way that you, at the beginning of the list, could possibly make
it to the end of the list.
What annoys me is that this is hardly the first time this chain letter
has shown up on Usenet. Usenet is not the place to propogate your
illegal chain letters.

I sent the guy mail a few days ago to point out how inappropriate his
posting was. I promptly got a reply from the postmaster at his
institution (to whom I had not sent mail). It seems that someone over
there (Berkeley, I think) noticed and closed his account. There is
justice after all...
