The original posting is a severe violation of the netnews
guidelines. If one took a crap in the middle of a crowded
mall, why wouldn't one expect objections or worse?

While I understand the logic in your response, there have been many completely off topic subjects posted without such reactions.


Those posts weren't from Ebayers tho'.

There's been a convention for years when folks want to spew their Ebay merde on the newsgroups. Put FA as the first part of the subject. But apparently many of them do not like that - after all not as many people will see their ad then.

This was posted as for sale, not as FA - I wouldn't have even seen it otherwise.

Rest assured, there are those of us who detest Ebay, and have enormous issues with the ads showing up in newsgroups where they shouldn't be.

If I see the posts, I will reply. Cecil's crap in the mall was spot on.
