Thanks very much. I sent in my dues for life membership nearly thirty
years ago. I hope all of those fellows are enjoying their cars, homes,
transceivers and computers.

I'm working on a deal like that myself. I'm trying to get one million
usenet readers to send me one dollar each. Would you like to
participate?

Actually, if one thinks about it, this isn't a bad idea. $1 can be given up
by anyone, well, nearly anyway. And, there is certainly a potential for
something like this to reach 1 million people.

If 1 million people send a dollar that's--duh--a million bucks to the
addressee. Now, we can't all keep sending a dollar out to everyone, but
odds are that, if a lot of people send $1 to say, five people, and on down
the line, maybe we'd all get to be millionaires before it was over.

So, I'm (for once) with Dave. Send a buck.

My concept has nothing to do with a pyramid scheme, Marty. I just want
anyone who reads various newsgroups to send me a buck. I'm not sending
anything in return. I'm not proposing anything about five people on a
list. If only 100,000 people send me a dollar, fine by me. If a mere
twenty people send the single clam, I'm still ahead.

Now if the folks at Newington had only come up with this scheme, they
wouldn't have to waste all that extra money on the publication of QST,
representing U.S. radio amateurs at a WRC, answering telephones and
e-mail, transmitting code practice and bulletins via W1AW and
maintaining a web site. I wonder if they've used up the entire $275 I
sent them for life membership in 1977?

I've got my way to wealth figured out. The rest of you will have to
come up with your own plan. ;-)

You may send a buck to the QRZ.com address.

Hardly. There's no offer to any other number of people where I "get a take"
on what they bring in; there's no group of people I'd be "responsible for,"
etc.

Just send the dollar. As to five others, that's a mere suggestion as to
what could happen if you, and you, and you , and you, and....

Get the picture?
