Lou,
Taken to its logical conclusion, your proposition would also mean a ban on all Ebay outings on the list. A quick check of the Archives reveals that you're a not infrequent "outer" of Ebay offerings. What's the difference here? I could understand your opposition if it was based on the fact (debatable) that Ebay auctions offer a degree of protection for the buyer and private invitations to make an offer don't but that's not your arguement, is it?
