Comments:
Dear Sirs: I have been an Independent Business Owner with Quixtar since it's inception in 1999. I am not an active IBO but plan to be when I retire from my current job in about 22 months. When I was intoduced to Quixtar by my sponsor, it was made very clear to me that it was not a get rich quick scheme. I became an IBO to save money on products and build my business when I want to by introducing others to the opportunity. I agree with total truth in advising one of becoming an IBO, however referring one to 10 other IBOs for disclosure is an infringement of their privacy.Also bringing up any past litigations angaist Quixtar creates a "sour grapes" avenue for those who may not have reached their aspirations and have to have someone to blame. At no time have I been pressured into purchasing any items that I did not wish to purchase including business support materials. In closing I think that the 10 person refferal, and past litigations against a company be reviewed by you prior to making this law. Thank you, Mr. Quirk
