>     Put your name in as the fifth one on the list.

> STEP 3.
> 
>     Post the article to at least 250 newsgroups. There are at

>  
>     Out of every block of 250 posts I made, I got back 5 responses.
>     Yes, thats right,only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or
>     money orders, but real cash with your name at #5.
>  
>     Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 250
>     additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings. On
>     average then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at
>     #4,....$50.00 in your pocket!
>  
>     Now these 50 new people will make 250 postings each with your
>     name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people= $500.
>     They make 250 postings each with your name at #2= 100,000
>     postings=5000 returns at $1.00 each=$5,000.00 in cash!
>  
>     Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at
>     #1 and you get a return of $60,000 before your name drops off
>     the list.And that's only if everyone down the line makes only 250
>     postings each! Your total income for this one cycle is $55,000.
>  
>     From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list,
>     you take the latest posting you can find and start all over again.

>     every day. You know that, you've seen the stories in the paper.
>     So, my friend, read and follow the simple instructions and play
