To Everybody:

I have to say that what Stephen is proposing is absolutely true!

I tried what he recommended.  One day later, I had  a cool $35 million in
my pocket!  By the end of the year, I expect to have $1.7 trillion.  As a
sign of my generosity, I will use this money to fund the entire US federal
budget for fiscal year 1997.  By the end of 1997, by using Stephen's
method I expect to retire the
entire NATIONAL DEBT of the United States of America!

So, shame on you doubters out there!

Tomas Nally, New Orleans
