	Can we infer that your argument is "If you pay attention to
EST/Lifespring/PSI we'll make money and be a big cheese"?  What about becoming
a happier/better adjusted/whatever human being?

	Sorry, logical fault here; If he became rich after reading "Think
And Grow Rich", that does not necessarily mean that he became rich *because*
he read "Think and Grow Rich".  Succession does not imply causality.

	What about those people who read the book and *didn't* get rich?

> 3. I don't care what you think anyway.

	Then why are you telling us all this?

	No flame needed.  Your insulting tone is enough to destroy any
empathy you might build.

	By the way, did you ever wonder how people became successful
(personally, financially, and so on) before anyone started running these
classes?
