If the worst we are facing on ebay now is former scam artists tying up our money for a few weeks, instead of simply stealing it.... in practical terms the real problem is solved.

Don't try and peddle Internet crap as truth; I've been there, and I KNOW what the place is like. I never had issues with you before, Pip, but don't question my veracity, ever, especially when you cite some fucking retarded, home-grown, ad-peddling website as your source. You want to use the Web as your dogma, fine, but if you use it as an excuse to call me a liar, we have a problem.
