> Hello, why don't you join me in making (potentially) thousands of dollars
> in this easy, co-operative venture?
> Here's how it works:
> 
> Get 5 pieces of paper, and write the following on each:
> "Please add me to your mailing list. Your name was in position number-"
> Then look at the following list, and add the appropriate position number
> to each piece of paper, addressing an envelope to correspond to it.
> 
> Enclose a $1 bill in each piece of paper,(I'm using American currency to
> standardize the amount; besides, the Canadian $1 coin doesn't mail well)
> add your name and address, and mail to each person on the list.
> 
> Now you have to compose your own message for posting to as many
> newsgroups as possible.  Use the list in this article, but do the
> following:
>  
> 1. take the first name and address off the list
> 
> 2. move the four remaining names and addresses up one position
> 
> 3. add your own name and address in the number 5 position
> 
> You would have to post to at least 200 newsgroups, and there are probably
> ways of saving and re-using your message, depending on the software you 
> have. I'm not going to tell you I've made $50,000 doing this; to be
> honest, this is the first time I've tried it.  But I'm a scientist by
> trade, and it seems as if this would work.  Let's try it. Here's your
> list:
