If you didn't catch the irony of my message, I find this "auction" to be
so absurd that I am just laughing at it.
No point in flaming it. It's a spontaneous-combustible.
As long as the signal (on-topic good stuff) to noise (OT posts and ebay
ads) stays barely respectable (i.e. 75% or better) then I won't bother
complaining anymore. If it ever goes below that, I'll just unsubscribe.
