for every "brian todd" (wasn't that at least 3 years
ago??) there are a hundred threads about some guy who
posted a crappy pic, or misrepresented a bianchi, or
charged too much for shipping...and those guys have
no representation here onlist; the debates and the
public hangings continue. witness today's crap, which
began as a whine about shipping fees only to result in
the op's realization that he didn't thoroughly read the
fine print. my tact remains, "you can't have it both ways".

This is too much........
When I outed Brian Todd's latest ebay name was that too much? The guy was a scammer who created a fake newsgroup and duped Jane Heine, myself, and Dale Brown into believing it was legit! (and then Jan figured out the truth).
The fact that I'm having discussion at all is mind numbing.
For now, I'm signing off. I just can't get sucked into this time sink...
