You poor baby. I can't believe that happened to your son... and so
young...
Did I ever tell you about my kid brother, Captain Atheist? He was on
the news, too. I think I'll get him the '10 Commandments' for
Hanukah... (the poster). He'll go nuts! LOL!!! Hey, if he's an
atheist, I'm not really discussing religion, right?
Then, of course, it would mean Independents aren't really political...
How many atheists and Independents are on Ebay? And, most
importantly, how do these 'fringe' people feel about BP? Do they even
subscribe to the PayPal mentality? Do they honor their restorers and
leave sacrificial pots of touch-up paint?
I don't trust them.

The other day, my son (who is 11) discovered the joys of reading
"Dave Barry". So we logged onto eBay found a lot of 10 books
closing in a couple of hours. We put in a bid and won (10 books for
$11 + $7 shipping) !! I clicked on the the paypal button and about
30 seconds later money transferred from the bank account (yes, my
bank account) to someone, somewhere out in the ether. Yesterday, a
box arrived with my books arrived and I left positive feedback for
the seller.
That was awful!!!
eBay and paypal totally suck.

I don't like what I am seeing. First you all divide into two camps
over whether the buyers premium should be included in the price, and
then one side calls those who disagree morons, and then you all
again divide into two camps over whether that is an appropriate
insult!
I understand you all have the right to do and say whatever you want,
but is this not very counter-productive? No one is changing sides,
and no one is convincing anyone of anything, and people are getting
more heated.
Remember J.R., that prolific poster who got in a big fight on these
boards and then was never seen again (and of course the person who
got into it with him almost never posts either)? Is this going to be
an instant replay? Does MoPo have so many regular posters that it
can afford to lose one or two of the best ones? I think not.
Imagine the shape our world would be in if entire countries acted
the way MoPo members did in this silly affair. Oh wait, they DO act
that way, so look at what bad shape the world is in, and decide if
you want a microcosm of that here.
If you want to split the list down the middle discussing something
that no one will ever change their minds on, why not discuss gun
control or abortion, or gay marriage?
I like MoPo, and I can't help noticing the number of people drops
little by little every week, and I can't help wondering if topics
like these don't contribute to that.
If you need something to unify behind, why don't we discuss how
awful eBay is?
