Not at all, Marvin. This is a serious suggestion. I honestly don't know
what motivates you, and I wouldn't think of stifling your right to free
speech, but I cannot comprehend why you would willingly step on even a
single toe of a single member of this list, much less virtually all of the
(relatively few) *heavy* bidders on ebay. You seem like such a nice guy,
otherwise :-)
I think this would be the *perfect* compromise. Those who really see your
service as valuable would enjoy the same opportunity they have here, but
those who find your actions, erhm, distracting would not be subjected to
them.
I can set the list up in less than 15 minutes, and nothing would bring me
more pleasure.

Me too, but
you couldn't resist. Might I suggest a compromise? I will
host a special "Marvin's Ebay Advertising" list. Anybody can subscribe,
and you can make as much noise and as many bidders miserable as you like,
OK?
Doug, if you are trying to start a flamewar again, please take it to email.
I very much enjoy that type of battle, but this is not the place for it.
