They produce no value FOR YOU, but they're valuable! Imagine if all
yards were only bare dirt tomorrow...Weeds would quickly grow! The
get paid to read email stuff is like grass (the kind you mow, I mean!)
in that money spent on it doesn't and can't go to spammers. Even if
GPTRs didn't spread uses of Better Money(tm) for other stuff (they
do!) it would be (and IS!) an incredibly-good thing -- and not just for
our little community, for the internet!! (The fact that no journalist has
yet written about this phenomenon would have, in the past, inspired
a sarcastic comment from me, but I'm trying to be "on the wagon!")

PS The directory is likely to improve soon! And formerly OmniPay's
premium over spot was 4% (not 5!).
