all of which applied to Dorling Kindersley, but that didn't stop them
from "changing their mind" about the home distribution business and
pulling the plug on many, many, many small businesses in this country.

my bitter personal experience of "network marketing" is that only
those at the top of the network make any real money and those at the
bottom are cannon fodder being used by the network in the most cynical
way.

any business at the mercy of a single supplier is not a business, but
a very stupid form of employment.

show me a network marketing business that doesn't rely on you
"employing" new start-ups for your success and I'll sign up tomorrow.

anyone, in any form of network marketing business is cynically
exploiting people that they know.

I think it sucks.

(my personal, from first hand experience of Amway and DKFL, opinion)
