[sac-board] Re: Ad for Newsletter

It isn't surprising to me that neither "Jim L Miller" nor "Universe City" 
showed up on
a Google search - at least not the ones here of interest.  Actually I didn't 
expect
much anywho, but decided to see if my hunch was correct.

What strikes me as unusual is the, "franchised nationally then 
internationally," with
a cost of $12,000,000.  Sounds more like a cheap fast food franchise - but then 
I
don't know much about franchising.

"The rewards would be great," just sounds to good to be true.

Unless someone can come up with a more convincing discussion, this doesn't seem 
to be
the kind of advertising that would be appropriate for the newsletter.
