Same style in use of Caps and dialogue. Martin

Pipswich wrote:Hey, you guys might be right. Lisa might be JonB. She was banned from the site right after I suggested she provide more conclusive evidence that she is not JonB, so I don't really know. (in October, maybe?) The anger, accusations and finger pointing seem based on writing style and geographic proximity. That is simply circumstantial.I am not intending to defend Lisa. I know her only as a seller who sometimes ships slowly. I know neither her guilt, nor her innocence.At least ebay has tightened up so that sellers can't steal from us as easily. If Lisa is JonB, the policies are likely all that is stopping a recurrence of the thefts that have you all so upset.

I mean, really?

Pipswich wrote:Nor, am I in the market for a bridge.
Pipswich wrote:Nor, will I open myself to a charge of defamation by reaching a public published conclusion that I don't have any reason to reach.

Pipswich wrote:I prefer the warm fuzzy middle ground where when I buy from strangers I can let paypal and my credit card company manage thieves, crooks and charlatans. Seems easier.
