    No, people join my website and pay me money. My competitors make $5K
    and $15K per day, but they've had 5 years of exponential growth, I won't
    be making $1K per day until 2006. 20 people per day put my ad on their
    website to join, exponential growth and monopoly rights are a potent mix.
