Forced eBay ID Change?

Actually, they gave ample warning that this was going to happen. It's supposedly to prevent spammers and other nare-do-well's from culling email addresses from the member IDs. I changed mine before the deadline because I knew that I'd wind-up with an AOL-looking ID if I didn't (like "dorkus1277574") Rich -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Marvin Johnston Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 2:10 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: Forced eBay ID Change?

Looks like the b******* have decided to forcefully change all of us using email addresses for our ID's so as to better control the flow of information to us. Yes, mine was also changed *without* my permission. IMNSHO, they are attempting to divert attention from the incompetant operations people. They are idiots.
