Hmmmm, I like all the Mathematical theories on how to figure this out. I have one, its a protocol: I suggest you use the Giant Circular Trashcan or (GCT) method for delivery. I would even go so far as to provide an extension to this protocol using GCT-TE to enable a pre-engineered path to the destination. Either way, I believe this to be a full proof. Cheers, Alexander G.

Do I calculate return using an exponential curve or the S-shaped logistics curve? It seems that the former is only appropriate if we assume that people will reply to duplicate postings (since the 10,000 people will certainly NOT choose non-overlapping lists of people). Of course, the average net.moron will take the fact that he's gotten 4 or 5 copies as proof that it works, not as proof that it can't work. Also, doing the math for report #6 is.. umm.. painful ;) /Valdis (who had to find *some* way to put an engineering spin on it)
