Ian, thanks for pointing this out. For the group, here's a snippet from
Pat's Ebay "me" page:

[begin snippet]

I reserve the right not to honor any bid made during the last 2 minutes of
one of my auctions. Also, I
maintain a list of everyone who has ever "bid sniped" me on any auction
that I was a bidder on, and I
reserve the right to not honor any bids on my auction items from any bidder
on that list.

[snippet ends]

I don't have a lot of Ebay experience, but I was under the impression that
it was a fairly level playing field, albeit one where "anything goes." If
someone comes up against me with a faster machine and a faster connection,
then I may be sniped. Oh well. This guy carries grudges and does not
appear to be a trustworthy person to deal with. I'll look more closely at
"me" pages in the future. Sheesh!
