Re: OT: NothchUp

 The excessive invites are due to a 10% finders fee incentive based on 
the hired person's salary. I'm not so sure the rates are sustainable 
(what are the headhunter's rates in general???), but the basic concept 
is interesting. I understood it as a self cleaning system - which may be 
the intended garden path.... It also looks a little like a pyramid - I 
wouldn't know how to prove that, though.
