What irony. A bunch of Amway clones got sued for slandering Proctor and Gamble.

And the guy in the mall told me that Quixtar is NOT Amway. It must be true.

Quixtar is NOT Amway. Quixtar was started by the Amway families, with Amway money and using the Amway manufacturing facilities and Amway lines of sponsorship. But it is “not Amway.”

On the other hand though, they announced last month that the Quixtar name is being retired and they WILL again be Amway in the next 18 months.

Anyway, I wonder how successful WalMart has ever been in IDing anti-WalMart bloggers.

Ok, here goes. Not what it seems. These guys (Woodward, et al) were a significant part of the problem most folks associated with Amway (we’re not Amway, cultish practices, etc). Finally, tired of their misleading and potentially illegal practices, Amway terminated these guys, too late for most of us. This was a step in the right direction for critics who have long wondered whether Amway would police its own organization.

Look for more house cleaning as the corporation re-asserts itself as the controlling entity.

Yeah, yeah, I know....heard and read it all, experienced some of it. Just wanted to add some perspective on this particular issue. This is a positive step for the corporation in keeping with long held demands of critics.
