When I get spam in my inbox, I delete it. Simple. Painless. One click, poof... gone. It is what it is, so I don't whine about it. If guys want to put Randall or Lile in the title of something I know isn't a Randall or Lile, I don't look. If I click on it by mistake, no big deal. Life is full of little annoyances, and whiners complaining about them.

Re: "common marketing scam used by slick eBay sellers"

Scam? That's the dumbest thing I've read all day. It's done all day every day by the "slick" and not so slick. It's a marketing tool, period. You're just trying to twist words and flim flam what's widely accepted on eBay and make it appear to be something it's not. Which is cool -- you're a lawyer, and that's what lawyers do.

Re: "so your criticism, though well-founded, is more than a little inconsistent."

No criticism intended, unless you're a telemarketer or ambulance chaser. End of discussion on my part, if you need the last word to feel better about yourself... have at it.
