Again somebody calling something a Ponzi scheme without even knowing what a Ponzi scheme is.

It annoys me.

It's idiotic.  A Ponzi is a very specific kind of scam.  People keep just randomly calling every goddamn thing they think is shady a Ponzi.  Words have meanings, people.

At least it marks someone as a person whose opinion can safely be ignored when they cluelessly throw around words like that.
