Although it may seem about 50/50 as to who feels pro or con on the ebay issue most of the pro ebay people are people we almost never hear from or are lurkers to pure strangers. It seems interfering with commerce in any way brings out quite a loud cry. But so does a rude intrusion to civil discourse. I remember the list before it became riddled with Ebay URL's and other references to Ebay this and Ebay that and it is a fond memory.
