It's been popular for a couple of years, although it is true that only in recent months it seems to have really gone nuts. I do find it amazing that so many people seem willing to play these matrix games even in cases where the system is explained in understandable plain english AND the current state of the matrix is shown (yes, some sites do actually do this and it seems to get them more customers rather than less) I suppose at least it's better than all those "make money from home" schemes that try their darndest to hide the fact that they are also ponzis/pyramids. Still a bit of a puzzle as to why they're so damn popular tho (the phrase "more money than sense" comes to mind) ]]> 10218@blogcritics.org Fri, 30 May 2003 10:01:08 EDT
