Here is some old posting I had saved which disproves the "mlm is taught at harvard" theory. =======================================================

Stanford seemingly refuses to discuss }- it." -From "Not Taught At Harvard: Multilevel ," By STEPHANE N. MEHTA, Wall St. Journal, 12/19/95:

----------------begin quote When it comes to endorsements, there are few more sterling names to invoke than Harvard, as in Harvard University and Harvard Business School.

But when the endorsement has no basis in fact, Harvard gets its hackles up. Of particular concern these days is the increasing number of claims that the business school endorses multilevel , in which distributors earn commissions on products that they or their recruits sell. "If the registrar's office had a dollar for every call we've had over the years over whether Harvard Business School teaches multilevel or has studies on it, we could throw a very nice Christmas party," reads one internal

business-school memo. "This claim is harder to kill than a dandelion."

What was once a nuisance now looks like grounds for potential defamation or libel lawsuits, says Frank J. Connors, a Harvard lawyer. Some handouts, for example, now claim--falsely--that Harvard has conducted "extensive research in the network industry," and that the business school calls

multilevel "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Many of the current myths about Harvard and multilevel stem from a 1984 article widely used to recruit distributors, multilevel experts say. The article, by multilevel Beverly Nadler, states without attribution that Harvard teaches multilevel . (It also states that The Wall Street Journal once said that "between 50% and 65% of all goods and services will be sold through multilevel methods by the 1990s. The Journal never reported this statement.)

Ms. Nadler couldn't be reached for comment. But in her 1992 book, "Congratulations, You Lost Your Job," she admits that she didn't verify some information in her original article.

Harvard Business School professor Robert J. Dolan worries that people may join multilevel companies because they mistakenly

believe Harvard condones the practice. "You hate to see your name used in a way that you haven't approved," he says. "Then you think of all the people who are being, led down a path to some financial distress." ----------------end quote

Please well where Ms. Nadler admits that she didn't check any sources on these claims.

So would you like to backup the claims made about Harvard making pro-MLM statements? I didn't think so. As for my credibility I've provided sources that talk about my accomplishments .I've seen none from you. Talk about a wanna-be.

I guess you don't like the fact that your ISP got complaints about your spam attacks.

As for freedom of speech .there isn't any for people placing spams. Just as freedom of speech doesn't apply to those spray painting ads on another person's house the same goes for your blatant ads.

Maybe if you'd like to try staying within the a.b.m-l charter then you're ads wouldn't draw fire.
