Unless they sign up, they aren't. There is no requirement to sign up,
and it is a very simple process to check whether or not anyone will be
paid a portion for signing anyone up.

Does that suggest that you get paid if you refer others to the program?
It does to me!

What? You firstly state that this list is 100% Linux, yet you want me
to post something 100% Windows to the list? If I did that, the email
would be unwanted, wouldn't it. (Yes, I'm being padantic)
When I receive a reply, I'll email it, with your prior, written
consent, directly to you. It doesn't need to be sent to the list.

As are those portions of other's messages where they contain contact
details for almost every conceivable location. If I want to know how to
contact those people, I will email them, I don't need to have their
contact details on the bottom of every email I get (through the list)
from them. If their details change, I might be interested in knowing,
but I don't want to know that they are still at the same location every
message.
And what about the start.com ads placed at the bottom of some messages,
or the hotmail one, or the yahoo ones?? Who on the list wants them?
Aussie.
