I think all MAKE.MONEY.FAST posts should be like this.  :-)
(BTW, Kyriakos, please don't post M.M.F, it's annoying, wastes bandwith,
has been seen at least a dozen times by most readers of alt.ascii-art,
and illegal (despite claiming to not be.))

On an interesting note, Bob Allison, I have a question.  If rec.arts.ascii
passes, would this message have gotten through?

Hi Alan,

I think the answer to your question is NO.  Not because Bob Allison would 
not have let it through, but because the _original_ post would not have been 
let through.  Hence, you would never have seen it and therefore you 
would never have replied to it!

Ever heard of "killing two birds with one stone" ?  Mind you, my reply to 
your reply would not have appeared either for the same reason.  Actually, 
when a "bad" post is removed the rest of the thread is also removed with no 
additional work!  Now that's what I call eliminating the problem at the root.

But that was one of the funniest Make Money Fast postings I've seen.
Better than many of the parodies out there.

Ah well.  I guess it wouldn't really be any big loss.  There's always
more Usenet than anyone can read...

   The original post would not have been posted, so I don't imagine you 
would have posted your post.

A way to make money fast.

Ban all pyramid scheme posters from alt.ascii-art forever. That way our phone
bills will be much smaller.
