A message to the Ebay police

I was checking some of the Luger items up for auction at Ebay and came across this guy's listing for a Luger manual. At the bottom he added this. I love it.

NOTICE TO EBAY POLICE: Thank you for cancelling all 18 of my auctions in one swoop in late 2006 for a minor rule infraction of Ebay's ever-changing user agreement (verbage, same phrases I've been using for years). I do wish I had the time to check the user agreement every 10 minutes to review the most recent bans, restrictions, and dictates, but alas, I do not. Let me assure you though that I have rewritten every single description and eliminated the objectionable phrases and "key word spamming" you accused me of, your interpretation of my heinous violations of the "fee circumvention policy", all links to my website you didn't like, and I now don't eat meat, have thrown away all fur in the house, and I am sensitive to everyone's feelings. I have even taken the manditory tutorial you imposed (yes, Ebay made me go to school!). I am a good man, fully briefed now, sensitive and in touch with my softer side. So, if you would be so kind -maybe the next time you might give me the courtesy of a warning or some advice before you go out of your way to find something you don't like in the auction description as a pretense to cancel them all. You might just consider that it is thousands of little guys like us buying and selling that keep ole' whats-her-name at the top of your corporate "community" ladder.
