    This smacks of loss aversion. Classic market sentiment and sheep following. Need to sign up before the offer reduces. It's like people joining a queue because they're told there's an enticement worth having at the end, though they've no idea what it is.

    I wonder how long before the story gets forgotten and people move on.

    Well all I am going to say is, if there's no such thing as a free lunch I would be very very doubtful that there is ever any free money. Might as well save it by buying lottery tickets!... or not

    I've read through the various Initiative Q Threads. It was very enlightening to read peoples' various perspectives on it in the initial 'Initiative Q' thread. Here people seem overly critical. On balance I think there's no harm in joining, and I thank Kayalana99 for providing valid counterarguments to the critics... Time will tell. Fingers-crossed! :)
