That's one way to do it. I have an Internet business doing Search Engine 
Optimization and I literally was one of the original firms doing this. Not 
everyone has to do a business from a swap meet though. Distributorships can 
be done from a home if they are marketed properly. (I also have a 
Nutritionals web site that does extremely well).

Any way, this is very off topic. Back to 6 Meters.. It was dead here last 
night. Don't here anything now ins DM33.
