While the subject of RadioMart and his ebay shennanigans is undoubtedly
a subject of morbid curiosity for me and others, if we post every stupid
Ebay seller and/or auction to this list then we end up with 99% ebay stuff
and maybe 1% actual discussion.

Perhaps there ought to be a new list ("Martyn-pseudonyms at lists.qth.net")
discussing RadioMart (or is it Radio-Mart?, oh well his Ebay pseudonym
will change many times in the future) so that all this can be directed there,
and those who do want to vent/read/discuss can do it there.

While the Collins list moderator might have seemed a little heavy-handed
he did have a point, a list that talks mostly about bad E-bay traders
really isn't doing the majority of the readers a lot of good (although
it really does give a heads up to be careful on the E-place!) And
Martyn is far from the worst crook to ever come along (even if, as it
seems, he is shill-bidding up many of his own auctions - that's more
foolish than evil. I've been to plenty of real live auctions where
a lot more outright illegal stuff goes on.)

Tim.
