Seriously, you either don't have any idea of the ramifications of the potential downsides that Patti has pointed out, or you're convinced that they don't apply to you... but it's a free country and you're entitled to try what you want to do, and equally entitled to make the same mistakes that many before you have already made.

All Patti was trying to do is to prevent you from wasting a lot of time and money and end up on TMF and out of any online business. But perhaps people on this board, whom you sought for advice, who have 10+ years of experience in this industry, are completely wrong and full of shit, and you, with apparently no such experience, are correct. In any case, good luck with that and let us know how it goes.

And fwiw, next time you want validation of your own viewpoint instead of a genuine answer to a question, you might try posting your question in the tone of "I'm going to start an MLM program, what do you think and what sort of pitfalls might I have" rather than "Please tell me which one is better."
